Claire Childs fostered ginger kitten Peanut in September 2021, after he struggled to find a home due to his severe disability.

The Romanian rescue cat, who was saved by Sirius Animal Rescue, was so badly injured in a brutal dog attack that he lost the use of his back legs and tail, and suffered severe nerve damage.

But Claire, 46, from Wendover, Bucks, was worried the traumatised moggy may not take to her blind rescue dog Peps.

Peps had been saved from the streets of Egypt and homed with Claire by the Miracle's Mission Charity in June 2021.
