Nikki Reed has adopted a kitten.

Taking to her Instagram account last night, Nikki posted a photograph of her snuggling up to the gorgeous grey kitten, which she accompanied with the caption: "Went to the animal shelter today to give some love to the babies living in cages who don't have homes and ended up adopting this little girl! What should we name her?"

The 26-year-old beauty, who has built a special guest house on her property in Los Angeles for the animals she rescues, also recently adopted a baby rat.

She said last month: "I'm on my way to pick up my new baby rat. I'm animal obsessed! I basically have a farm in my house. I do feel like by buying rats from a pet store, you are saving them because if not, they would get fed to a snake or something."

The actress owns two horses, two German shepherds and four other dogs, but also regularly provides temporary shelter for foster pets.
