"Little Buttons just hit the jackpot with her forever home...

"At only 5 months old, her "family" abandoned her for not being cute enough...

"She slowly 'checked herself in' to the sanctuary even though she was terrified".

"But Buttons was healthy and needed a forever home," the video adds. "After 3 months in foster, she was ready to travel 10,000 kms across the world".

It's not the first time Liam has chosen to adopt a pet.

Back in 2018, the Wall Of Glass singer visited Wood Green, The Animals Charity and came home with the adorable kitten Sid.

The 15 week old feline - who was formerly called Tiger Lily - had only been at the charity's north London centre for a week when the Manchester legend first saw her on their website.

Colin Harris, Animal Rehomer at Wood Green London told Radio X: “Liam was totally laidback throughout the rehoming process and kindly agreed for us to take pictures of his encounter with Sid.

"Seeing his posts on social media when he introduced Sid to his followers was really lovely and exciting for the team here at Wood Green. ”

Sid was soon joined by a second kitten, who the rocker called Nancy in a nod to the late Sex Pistols icon and his troubled girlfriend Nancy Spungen.

For the adoption he took to Wood Green, The Animals charity once again, who wrote: "Thank you for visiting our London centre, and for giving Nancy a loving home".
