A kitten and a puppy both rejected from their litter found each other and formed an extraordinary friendship.

Two best friendsEmilie RackovanIt all started when a community cat found shelter in her caretaker's garage and gave birth to a litter of seven. Hoping to find the cat a suitable place to raise her kittens, Emilie Rackovan, an animal rescuer, stepped up to help.

She secured the mother cat with a humane trap and brought the feline family home to foster them. One of the kittens, Kangaroo, was exceptionally small. The mama cat showed no interest in caring for her, likely trying to preserve energy to ensure the survival of her healthier kittens.

Emilie started bottle-feeding the runt, hoping to get her big enough to be reintegrated into the litter. While the kitten cried and demanded a constant companion, another furry baby in the house also needed a friend.
