Mewie was rescued when he was just a few weeks old by Jamie Traynor, a caretaker for the orphaned rhinos.

"He follows me all around the orphanage," Traynor told The Dodo, about her cat.

Nandi, the little white rhino, was just 2 months old when she was found all alone back in December. Her mother was shot and killed by poachers, and the poor baby rhino was left all alone. Luckily, she was spotted and taken into The Rhino Orphanage before she too would have likely passed.

While they fed her and helped her regain her strength, Mewie came to inspect the new baby. And that’s when a new friendship formed.

Nandi and Mewie make an adorable pair. Their favorite activities are going for long walks and to take naps together.

Mewie never seemed concerned with Nandi’s size. They’re both just gentle creatures enjoying one another’s company.

Rescuers hope that Nandi will grow to be strong enough to go back to the wild, but she's still very young.

In the meantime, Mewie and Nandi still have many walks and naps ahead of them.
