Los Angeles, Sep 17 :  Socialite Kim Kardashian has been spotted around with a new adopted teacup Persian kitten. She has named her Mercy.

The reality TV star introduced the kitten to her fans on Twitter, with a series of snapshots.

Kardashian referred to the pet as "my new baby Mercy", and was later spotted with the animal at her Dash boutique in Miami, reports digitalspy.co.uk.

The kitten's name seems to be a nod to boyfriend Kanye West's hit single "Mercy", the first from his new album "Cruel Summer".

Kardashian, 31, recently revealed that she feels that her romance with West is permanent.

She is currently in the process of finalising a divorce with husband of 72 days Kris Humphries.
