‘Welcome to the family Raspberry you funny little floof.’
Laura announced in March that they had adopted a kitten and were excited to take her home.
‘They say that sometimes you don’t choose the pet, it chooses you. And that was what it felt like when we found our little Raspberry among all the kittens at @sydneydogsandcatshome,’ she wrote.
‘At the start Lola was so timid, she had never seen a kitten before and she was too scared to hold them, but then she spotted a tiny little fluffy tabby.’
