Natural instinct predicts that dogs and cats shouldn’t get along. The two species have had a famously antagonistic relationship through the years. While Barney loves all kittens, no relationship has been quite as special as the bond he has built with 5-week-old tabby Ava. Found shivering and alone in a London garden at just a few days old, things looked bleak for Ava. She was rushed to Battersea, and began to gain strength, but without brothers or sisters she was isolated from other animals.
As time went on, a strong bond formed, and now, a month later, the two are inseparable. “Barney adores Ava and can’t wait to come into Battersea every morning so he can see her,” Ab’dee said.
