Abandoned kitten turns into our gorgeous cat!

- We found a kitten abandoned by its mother in a woodshop. This is the story of how we nurtured this sad and helpless fellow to become the beloved and beautiful adult cat he is today!
We found that Royal Canin has a great range of cat food products suitable from birth right through to adulthood.
We fed the baby kitten every two hours at first, and helped him pee after each meal by massaging his genitals very gently. We kept him warm at night with a hot water bottle and a microwaved bean heat bag.
We gave him a lot of attention. He shared a room with our two rabbits for the first two months and probably thought he was one of them. He learned to hop and kept trying to eat rabbit food!
We were warned that he may not learn to groom himself and could grow up aggressive, but either he learned from his male foster mother dog or he instinctively got the hang of grooming. He has a wonderful temperament.
He was quickly litter trained (3 weeks old) but over Christmas (age five months by then) he decided his litter would be under the Christmas tree and gave us regular odoriferous presents. After this strange but short period, he became a fully trained outdoor cat and doesn't need an indoor cat litter box at all. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини

It takes a family of hoomans, a large rabbit, a mama dog and etc to raise a kitten into a beautiful healthy cat. Thank you.
A male mama dog! Lol
What a pleasure to take care of
Even though "Mama dog" is a male 😂

I agree Animal's make better parents then humans but there humans that are Care for Animal's
He’s grown into a beautiful cat, just shows what love can do. Congratulations !
Yes a beautiful kitty so adorable 🥰 so glad he has a good home 🥰🐈⬛
Yes with warm milk and broken up sleep. He's gorgeous.
So beautiful and adorable….
A home full of love, companionship, stimulation and comfort. I'd call it kitty heaven.
E
I just know he's a very people oriented cat now. I helped handraise 4 kittens who were only 2 days old when found (mom was sooooo sick and died soon after). Challenging, tiring, but oh so rewarding to watch them grow into confident sweet kittens ready for new families. Thanks for the memories! Grenouille is beautiful!
It is hard to keep a kitten healthy with out it's mother. Great job!
He missed out on nothing.. he had a mama, a papa, and several siblings that loved him from the start. Couldn't have ever needed anymore than that.. bless you all..
Thank you for sharing your family's intimate experience while raising an abandoned kitten. It's people like you that inspire hope and restore faith in humankind!
The glory is God's.
He says: "what you do for the least of Mine you do for Me.'
Milk has sugar in it but you mean well and is cute.
That's disgusting don't let him drink from a toilet please with BACTERIA! :(
Agree fully. Lucky to have been abandoned by Mummy in the hardware store. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story.
From a tiny abandoned kitten to a fully grown up and beautiful cat. Lovely cat and his lovely hoomans💕💞💖
He’s a very beautiful cat. And a LUCKY CAT…..
The kitten became a very beautiful tabby! Aggression is caused by being out of relationship. Your love and contact prevented that.
He’s so lucky to have found you! He wouldn’t have lasted another day without food & warmth. Thank you for doing angel work 😉
Turned out to be a lover 'cause he was loved from the beginning.
Bless your hearts, folks > that's the way it should be done. Enjoy the reward for your care - he is dear.
I raised my cat this way. He’s very loyal. He was about 1 week old when I got him. He’s now 4 years old and is my constant companion. Y’all did a great job.
Adorable! he does not afraid of water, such a rare and amazing cat!
Thank you so much for rescuing this sweet little baby. He will surely be forever grateful to you both for rescuing him. He hit the cat jackpot when you rescued him. 💖
I CAN’T I JUST CAN’T OK SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I love animals and nature but people keep on abusing and littering like idiots thank you for taking in this kitten and loving it ❤️. In my opinion this make you some of the most amazing, kind, and caring people I’ve ever seen!
Caring with purest heart is the only reason for this beautiful transformation
He is very happy weil he has a great family. All you need is love.
Thank you for your kindness. Most people don’t realize that the mother has to lick the bottoms for both pee and poop or the kitten will die. The dog did a great job but if anyone doesn’t have that please know to use a warm cloth until the kitten does it’s business. You have to make sure the kitten does in fact poop
The world needs more of you. Thanks for taking care of that little nugget of loveliness.
We, too, found a few days old tiny kitten and he became a huge, very sweet and loving cat. Not aggressive at all, just a little timid around strangers, despite having been left by his mum at a very young age.
how could you not love a little thing like that?
So impossibly small. How anyone could leave him crying for 3 days is beyond me. I have no kids but seeing this my mothering instincts would have kicked in. Gorgeous!! Oh, the fun your husband is having!!!
Bless that family four taking the kitty into their family
Bless that family for rescuing this sweet baby kitty. Your love and care turned her/him into a sweetheart. Many blessings to you for caring 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
My first tought exactly. Those ppl at the woodshop just let him starve? Or didn't they hear him cry? :-/
A toute la famille de Rachel Kolly: vous êtes formidables!
A kitten that young couldn’t survive three days without nourishment/fluids. Not possible.
Mom this one is for us 🙏
Great video! Just remember everyone, if you find yourself in this situation, don't bottle-feed the kitten while it's on its back. It can be dangerous for them. It probably won't happen, but better not to take the risk. Make sure they're upright and facing forward, just like they would go for a real nipple. If you manage to raise a kitten like this from an early age, it really is a special experience. My wife and I have raised several, some as young as 1 day old. It's amazing to see them transform.
SO very glad that you're the ones to take him, great job raising him to an absolutely beautiful cat!😊
You must be lovely people to have raised. Such a sweet feeling kitten. He is so very beautiful. Thank you for making this world a better place. Wa lucky boy he is. This kindness and love made me 😢 cry
I have 2 cat's. Rafael and Branquinha. I love both.
Yes a beautiful kitty 😻 so precious
I agree 💓🤗
God Bless your whole loving family 🙏🏻🦋🤗💓😻
He is gorgeous!!!
This video brought back memories!!
On 8/3/1998, my neighbors cat, Chynna, came over to get food from me at 1 PM. I noticed she was getting bigger with her pregnancy. I left at 2 PM for my job.
When I got home at 10:30 PM, I saw Chynna and she had clearly given birth!! So the babies were born on my birthday!!
I had stopped on the way to work for Kitten Chow for Chynna. She needed extra calories!
On 8/6/1998, I got a call from another neighbor. Please come over! He had come our of his house and ran down the steps, not seeing 2 tiny kittens at the bottom! He missed them, thank goodness!
As soon as I saw them, they were definitely Chynna's babies! Chynna was a beautiful calico and the male cat that had been hanging around 60-65 days prior was a black & white tuxedo cat.
I told him the came out of the crawl space as we saw tiny paw prints. We put them in a box on a bench. Chynna would find them & take it from there. The babies were screaming. I asked him to keep an eye out and was off to go to Wal-Mart for plants. As I went to the exit, I looked left for cars and saw a cat, deceased by the other entrance. I went to see if it was Chynna, it was. 😿
Instead of plants, I went to Wal-Mart for Kitten Replacement Powder, bottles, baby shampoo (for fleas!!), & goats milk.
No cows milk for any baby kittens or puppies, they get sick!
I returned and could hear the babies screaming loudly, Chynna's body had obviously been there for 6-8 hours, so her babies were starving.
I mixed up bottles and the tuxedo one was a lot bigger! I named her Samantha! The tiny calico, Isabella!
After the bottle, I washed both so they had no more fleas. I got a different box and some towels and put both babies in it. I took them to the house and put the box in the spare bathroom.
Danny & I then went to bury poor Chynna. I promised her that I would do everything I could to help her tiny babies!
I remember the feedings every 2 hours too! They have tiny tummy's and cannot eat a big bottle.
I took them into work and everyone took turns feeding during their breaks. I fixed bottles up.
I took both to the vet the next day as Isabella was so small that I was concerned. The vet knew I had a pure bred seal point Ragdoll cat named Benji!!
He told me to keep Benji away from the newborns or he would kill them. Except for feeding time, the babies would curl up together & sleep.
I had fed them and took care of their potty needs, then left them in their box in the bathroom.
I got a delivery from UPS & had gone outside to get it. When I came inside, I saw the bathroom door was open!! Benji!?!?
I heard baby kitten noises...then a meow from Benji!! I went into the bathroom. Benji was curled up in the box with both babies attempting to nurse off him!
From that day on, when I fed them here, Benji observed.
Samantha ate like it was her last meal. She was so much larger than Isabella. So Samantha ate first. Benji would then take Samantha and took care of her potty needs.
Isabella took longer to feed as she tended to fall asleep after a few sips.
The both grew but Isabella was always smaller.
By 8 weeks, both had hit their milestones and got their first shots! Isabella was also on vitamins from the vet since their first visit. It was liquid and smelled horrible to me, but Isabella loved it!
They were spayed and loved playing with all the cats & the dog!
On 12/30/2010, Samantha was playing with one of their Christmas toys. She threw one in the air & leaped to catch it. She landed in a thud on the floor. The vet said she had had a heart attack and she never regained consciousness.
Isabella lived until 9/3/2019--21 years & 1 month!! Up until 9/1, she was doing fine. Age related issues of course, her food & water dishes had to be on the floor, as she couldn't jump.
The only time she was not purring was when she was asleep! By this age she would come over to the sofa and meow to pick her up! Her favorite play was next to me, no matter if we were watching TV or sleeping!
On 9/2/2019, she was no longer purring a lot. She would grunt and sometimes cry out in pain. Then she refused all food and drank very little water. I knew it was time!
On the morning of 9/3/2019, Isabella crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge! She was in my arms and licked the tears from my face. They gave her the heavy tranquilizer shot and she snuggled in my arms!
I told her to go look for Samantha & Benji at the Rainbow Bridge. I will see them again some day. In the meantime, my parents & grandmom take care of ALL of our babies at the bridge.
Thanks for sharing your story. How did Chynna die?
@@KungPuKitty I think she got hit by a car cause she said she found her at the exit when she was leaving to go to Walmart.
This story had me so damn emotional. I’m bawling my eyes out while my cat came curl up on my lap. She is so in tune with my emotions. She’s my mama cat. Had two sets of kittens . We’ve got her last three babies and her and they are ALL a mess!!!! Lol. Love my fur babies!!!!
@@KungPuKitty Chynna was hit by a car.
We saw the skid marks where they tried to stop. I hope they are least check to see if she was dead.
She is buried in my yard.
@@evilsteven5201 These kitties keep me moving forward at least.
I was having all these weird symptoms where my voice would suddenly go. My boss would scream at me and from watching other people who were driver's and he did not tolerate absences.
So I knew he would eventually fire me. So I left on medical leave.
My last dog was actually my parents but when they passed, Jessie came to live with us.
Thank goodness Jessie adored cats!
I had been diagnosed in 2005 with Graves Disease, bad thyroid. Take a pill each day.
It wasn't until I saw a doctor who did blood work and a MRI with contrast (they go through a vein in the arm with glo in the dark contrast) and they found Multiple Sclerosis in the brain.
Then they found Rheumatoid Arthritis. Then Lupus. Last time was Hypokalemia.
I said enough of these nasty autoimmune diseases!
At times I have problems with one or two or all of them.
My cats know before I do that I am having a bad day.
They curl up with me. I don't know what I would do without them!
I too have an abandoned kitten who has grown into the most loyal and loving cat I have ever been associated with!!!
People who rescue animals are one of the great blessings in life. This is a wonderful story of the little guy who turned into a beautiful cat. I would not let any animal drink from a toilet though, just as I would not let a child drink from a toilet.
Handsome fella. Your love for him from day 1 shines from his beautiful eyes. Thank you.
Love you comment ❤
Such a transformation! What a cute kitten, and a really beautiful cat!
from the beginning he’s in your family right there from day one eating it taken care of making sure he had a little box to sleep in all my God it’s a beautiful cat my God always protect you love the animals around you’re being blessed in my ways than one on the bottom of my heart and soul thank you thank you
Your an angel!
@@vickytellez9239
@@vickytellez9239 thank you for your kind words! 😻
You’re very welcome God has a price for you in your future look up for it...,
We have three cats, two of them were "rescue kittens", one fed on a bottle for 6 weeks. For a couple who didn't want pets and certainly didn't plan to have any, we have become the biggest "soft touches" for these three cats. Who could figure? I so enjoyed watching your video...so nice to see such a loving home for your whole family!
I absolutely loved watching this little guy grow with his large adoptive family. My only note: cats have been known to succumb in domestic toilets, as a precautionary I always leave the lid down. Even the male dog took on a role in parenting - that is amazing.
Thanks for sharing your smile bringing story.
I rescued a 4 day old kitten & she lived for almost 18 years. I miss her a lot. She was a very loving & adorable cat ❤️
no you didn't
@@alexanderwoolley1623 who are you? I don't know you so you don't know me or anything about me
I am sorry for your loss.
You gave the abandoned kitten everything he needed to grow up healthy, unafraid, and sociable. You had a great little animal family to integrate him into. Thank you for a delightful video.
It is so wonderful to raise a cat. My ex, still a good friend, suggested I get a cat because I complained she and my daughter were not spending enough time with me, and I was lonely. Since I wanted female company and had just run into someone after I returned from a trip to Europe in '17 who wanted me to babysit his female kitten, I asked if I could adopt her.
I knew she had left her Mama too young, and she imprinted on me immediately. My friend did not at first want me to keep her---he said she was sick and probably would not survive and he did not want me to get attached to her.
But I have saved a poodle who was severely ill with dysentery, and other small animals, by just applying love and symptomatic treatment and patience, since I was a boy, and I have now more than six decades of experience with pets and making a forever home for them.
My cat, Rosie, now about six years old, has flourished, and she is also a licensed therapy pet, I found special traits in her, she is able to detect if I need to rest, or eat, and she even makes me watch movies or listen to music by her behaviors.
She is always just by my side, and it is uncanny, when I lie down and pull the blanket ever so quietly over me to nap or sleep at night, out of visual range from the other room she comes running to duck under the covers, cuddling in my arms, a "cat croissant", sometimes using my face as a pillow or simply resting her head on my arm or pillow, sleeping in a human pose, her motor so loud it takes me a few minutes to fall asleep.
My Ex, daughter and I make our friends roll their eyes when we talk about our love of adopting cats.
Cats may only meow, but they know some words -- my cat complies when I say "gimme five" or "roll over" or "Do you want to eat or need water?"
OMG... how precious! I had nothing but smiles and laughter watching this video. Thank you ever so much for taking care of this little guy. You saved his life. Some people think animals are just that. Our animals are part of our family. Grenouille is lucky to have such loving parents. This warmed my heart.
You are so kind! Thank you for your comment!
Wonderful to watch his transition from adorable baby kitten to almost full grown handsome cat! You have done a fantastic job raising him!
Thanks for giving him a loving ❤️ and forever home!
So beautiful. And I know it was difficult having to feed him every two hours. I've done it and it's exhausting. You are wonderful people.
Awww! Thank you for your words! 😻
I didn't know about not feeding kittens on their backs. Great info.
He's adorable and loved very much. Good video. Thanks. xxx
We have rescued kitties for a long time. Well done with your kitty.
Yes, I was very happy to see him being fed the right way, feeding on his back could have choked him to death.. it's nice to see a big happy family and know that people live that way.. best wishes, and yes he's a real beauty
Yes! That was driving me nuts. I'm surprised they couldn't feel the cat's uncomfortableness.
This cat was meant to be with your family. Many blessings to all of you. The world is not lost at all. There are still good people with a big heart and full of love and compassion for the animals. Keep the good work.
Well done on raising this tiny kitty. That’s some commitment to the two hour feeds but is necessary for survival.
He's really a beautiful kitten, so glad you rescued him! It warms my heart to see him so loved ❤️
He certainly is!!
Beautiful kitty so good of you to help him/her
The best rescue cat ever. Lovely family
Our family raised a pair of kittens whose mama died of congenital heart disease. Two other siblings died. Vet said they had the CHD. 50% of the litter is the norm for this condition. These two, now 18 months and are gorgeous loving gingers. It’s worth it all.
Thank you for sharing kitty’s journey with us. He is beautiful.
Such a beautiful cat. You are so compassionate and should be so proud you saved this little life.
My son rescued a stray kitten thirteen years ago and named him Freddie. Twenty-six days ago dear Freddie died. As our son died eight years ago Freddie was special to us. They will be together now.
Very good story he's a happy little boy God bless you guys for taking care of him you now have a friend for life
You did such a great job of educating yourselves about his needs!! I wish more people were like you ❤❤❤
he is absolutely gorgeous. I had a cat looked almost just like your baby. he was fortunately able to stay with mama until he was 8 weeks. he was really affectionate. also very smart.
What a beautiful family. That is how you socialize an abandoned kitty.
Beautiful Cat and a Beautiful Blessed Story.Thank you for rescuing him.💜😺
I truely loved this.....thank you so so much ....If I come back as a cat please please adopt me ..💗⚘
Awwww! Thank you for your kind words!
What a wonderful story! That wee little kitten is certainly growing up to be a beautiful cat 🐈 . Watching him learning to nurse from a bottle had me holding my breath as I watched... I wanted him do well, so he could grow up to be a big healthy kitty! 😻
A beautiful kitten,so glad the kitten got a good home,he's so adorable 🥰 have a great night
What an handsome cat he turned out into a handsome prince!..he is soo cute n smart cat. Thanx for sharing!
Bless you. I am the stray and ferrel cat manager in a town that doesn't really like cats. Yes the work is hard but the reward of their love is well worth the work. I was never around cats but I love them. I should have gotten a cat or two before I got married. Cats are more dependable and loving 🐱🐱🐱🐱
What a wonderful story! Thank you all for sharing!
You did a great job raising this kitten and transforming him into a beautiful gentle adult cat. Love is the key!😻
I watch a lot of cat rescues,most seem clinical and done to a set script.Yours is very different. There was an informal air to it. And quite a lot of love and affection.
Hope you adopt another kitten soon!
I already have 2 cat's. Rafael and Branquinha. Rafael have 17 years, and Branquinha 8 years old. They are my best friends. Bye and have a great night 🌃 😍.
Thanks but I can't have more cat 🙀. Have a good weekend and night 🌃. Bye. 💖 💖 💖
Smart kitty. He knows he was rescued and appreciating his every minute with his parents. What a sweetie. God bless rescuers.
He's such a lucky kitty to have been found by such a loving, wonderful family!
Blessings for you all.
I live in California and have three cats and two dogs. All of them had sad back stories. Now they have all thrived, and we adore them. I felt compelled to open your video, because I could sense that there would be a happy ending. Thank you for being a lover of animals, and thank you for this wonderful video!!
What a fantastic story with a happy ending. He is so lucky that a kind loving family found him and made him one of their own.
Beautiful!
Looks like you grew your own perfect family member! Thanks for saving him! You have a gem!
I'm getting ready to bring a special needs kitty home, which means Moxie, my Covid-isolation-raised cat with Only Cat Syndrome, will have some major adjustments to make! When I have doubts about whether I can pull it off, videos like yours inspire me. I can already feel the love multiplying. 😻😻😻
Good luck! 🐉🔮🕊👍
Yu go girl........
Great! You can do it! You are called to it. ;)

He needed the warmth and constant touch that you provided round the clock. Thank you for not turning your back as so many do. You have a full house, yet you made room for a baby who wanted to live so badly.😇❤😺
what a beautiful cat and a beautiful story!
Делать больше этим людям нечего ,как авкармливмть это кошачьего отродье, заполонили интернет такой гадость,добродетель свою выставить очень хотят и мама за это получать,сплошное двухличие.
It's great to know there are such amazing families in the world - it's not all doom and gloom x
I love the last pic of him smiling. It really can’t get any cuter than this.
What a beautiful puss he turned into, mind you he was a very pretty kitten. Thank you all for doing an amazing job of rearing him successfully with love and kindness. May Karma shine sweetly on you all including all of your fur babies.❤️❤️❤️
That baby is absolutely adorable and precious 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Poor little guy. Your dedication to saving his life is admirable. With everyone's help, including the dog, cat and rabbit, he turned into a beautiful and loveable cat. 💕 the story. Thanks for posting.
wow that is so sweet, he was lucky to find you and make him another member of the family, with a lot of patience and love🥰😍
Your dog knows EXACTLY what’s needed! What an adorable little one! Love his tail wag! He’s gorgeous! Congratulations! 🐾♥️🐾
This is beautiful to watch thank god he got in the right hand's lovely people to take care of him.
Oh my goodness, what a fortunate kitten to have found such a caring and loving family!
So true. I can't believe that he was left for three days, within earshot of people who could hear him crying, and who did nothing about this tiny speck of life. Thankfully, he found the best family ever and survived.
This was absolutely wonderful to watch and you guys are the best for taking him in and caring for him and saving his life. There should be millions more like you. Bless you all!
Thank you for your kind words! Grenouille is a sweetheart!
There are millions of other unsung heroes.
A beautiful kitten so glad he has a good home 🥰🐈⬛
Agreed. Good on you for saving that dear little cat and look forward to him loving you for the rest of his life.

Absolutely precious little kitten. Thanks for rescuing that little kitten. Now that kitten has a very loving home. It's great hearing him purr. Greetings from Southern California.
Thank you for saving God's beautiful creation God is smiling down on your kind wonderful beautiful Hearts he needed your Big Loving Hearts 😪🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊♥️🐈
The daughter fed the kitten perfectly allowing him to push against her hand like he would do on his mother. I'll bet she will become a vet too. 💜
Thank you for your words! I always thought she would… let’s see in a few years! 😻😻😻
@@RachelKolly Or a great violinist such as yourself!
you have done a beautiful thing and he is a cutie.
Thanks for him. I think he couldn't be more happy ! Great success !
What a beautiful family you have! And that little kitten turned
Into such a beautiful cat. You guys ROCK👍🏻🤘🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So adorable! The cuteness meter in our house broke after seeing this kitty. thank you for your kindness.
You and your family captured the most beautiful moments of being a pet owner' watching this fragile little life blossom and grow on minute-by-minute. Your video shows the deep bonds between you and your family have with your pets, as well as bonds between the individual pets how well they get along and everyone pitches in to help baby kitten thrive.
You’ve said all that I came to say, only much more eloquently 💕
What an extremely cute amazing baby kitten! She is so sweet! I'd have adopt her without any delay!
A very precious story! Beautiful cat! You did an excellent job. I've rescued many kitties and dogs over the years..rehabilitated wildlife for 35 years. Touches my heart to see loving people like you dedicate time and love to a sweet little life ❤
Your family -- including your beloved pets -- are the best thing that could have happened to that precious baby kitty! You are all heroes, for sure! Thanks to you, he has grown up to be a very handsome and healthy kitty. That purr -- purely heartwarming!
This warms my heart! I have nursed entire litters of motherless kittens! You are all doing a fabulous job. In all of my experiences there was never an aggressive baby towards me! For me, the opposite was true. Handling them to feed and cuddle is the best thing to do. I loved it when he was accepted by your other pets! Precious moments. I am so happy that you found him and cared for him with tons of love! Thank you all!
We did exactly that - fed her every two hours, day and night. She is grown now but is still our baby! God bless you!
Great Video! He certainly did grow up to be a gorgeous boy thanks to all of you!♥
Yes he is a very beautiful gorgeous kitten!!!
Such a wonderful story ! Loved the video.. thank you for sharing the journey of this amazing kitten !
Thanks 😊 for adopting this adorable little baby 😊❤
Thank you kind people for saving him and giving him a home!!
Thank you so much for saving him and congratulations!!!
He's a lucky guy for having you all!!!
Thank you so much for loving him. It's divine that all of you found each other. He's beautiful and so was you're video. Cheers!
Thank you Rachel. Your family has brought smiles to my face and peace to my heart. Blessings to your family and your fur babies. The world would be a better place with many more of hoomans like you.
Couldn’t have been adopted to a better family! Thank you 😊
So much happy purring! 😻
Wonderful story
You have done a great job. He was totally helpless, waiting to die & you stepped in to save his life. Well done. I want to add 1 thing:Be very careful about letting him outside. If he thinks that all dogs are his friends, then that could end badly.
