Rescue Pit Bull Gets His Own Kitty, Loves Her Like A Daughter

ADVERTISEMENT

Bubba, the 6-year-old rescue pit bull, has always been obsessed with cats. It started when his human mom Rebecca Pizzello got him from a shelter in Phoenix, Arizona when he was just 3 months old. Her roommate was caring for a litter of kittens and Bubba just clicked with them. Finally, after 6 years of waiting, Pizzello surprised her mellow pit with his very own kitten.

“I always knew he’d love having one of his own but I wanted to wait until we moved to NYC this year,” Pizzello told Bored Panda. She got the tiny ginger kitten from a shelter, too. “The fact that Bubba and Rue have identical coloring still blows my mind…I knew Bubba would be filled with joy the second we walked in the door and  boy was I right.”

After only a few hours at her new home, the kitten fell asleep on Bubba. “I think Rue thinks Bubba is her mom and Bubba loves it,” Pizzello added. “He bathes her like a baby and snuggles close to her to make her comfortable.  They will definitely be a fun duo to watch grow up together!”

Pit bulls can sometimes be the scariest dogs due to their size and massive bite strength. But they also be the sweetest suckiest babies and incredibly loving. Two of the gentlest dogs I ever knew were pit bulls. Rue and Bubba are a great team and fill the need for companionship when Rebecca, their owner isn't around 'cause of work. ♡♡♡

very sweet and glad the get along with each other. BUT Bubba needs his to nails clipped, they look a little to long, and it could hurt him if they aren't clipped, he could hang them on anything and tear a nail all most off or make it bleed on the inside with is very painful... a dog lover, just to let you know
