it will be interesting to see what his hair looks like when he is older-right now he looks like a fuzzy marshmallow
Yes he has curly fur it seems
He is a floofy marshmallow
fuzzy curly floofy marshmallow
Yep because he does look like he’d have curly hair/fur
My cat used to be like this as a kitten and now he is a plus size fuzzy marshmallow
Miss, your dandilion poof is making all sorts of cute noises, cronch included
🥰
I've known chouchou for 12 minutes and I'd die for him
That has been everyone who follows her on any social media platform for the past couple of weeks. Nobody can look at this little cotton ball and not immediately fall in love it seems.
Watch his first video! He's the cutest
I know you’re not intending to keep him, but it looks like he’ll be staying with you for longer than kittens normally do because of the timeline for his cleft palate repair! Looking forward to seeing him continue to grow!
@@EeveelutionStorm Fergie was dying
@@aishahowasis8484 Considering that Hannah doesn't want any more cats of her own, it would be bad. Let's support Hannah in helping Chou-Chou to get him in an adoptable condition and to a great home away from her.
Yes, it looks like chouchou will be staying with her for a while, and she will only be considering local adopters with veterinary experience
@@EeveelutionStorm Fergie was originally going to be o be a hospice kitten because there wasn't much hope in him actually beating the odds given his struggle in the beginning. I mean Fergie was in the best hands possible so the likelihood of him surviving was better. He's a fighter and so is Hannah,now Fergie can be the furry foster brother/parent. It is amazing that Fergie survived and is doing as well as he is. As far as chouchou he will be with Hannah for much longer due to his cleft palate. It's basically the same thing as any other kitten because she is preparing him for life, it's just that he needs a bit extra time to prepare. Sound alike she is going to try and get his palate fixed before finding a home.
I bet tons of people have lined up as potential adopters, he's absolutely beautiful!
I was born with a cleft palate and am constantly grateful for the amazing care I received from my surgeons, orthodontists and speech therapists. And of course, grateful to my parents for taking care of me too. I'm sure Chouchou is JUST as grateful to have you in his life to take care of him. Not everyone is so lucky. Thank you for taking care of him!!! How wonderful.
I’ve always wondered what the longterm process is like. How old were you when you had your first surgery? You don’t have to answer but I definitely would love to hear more of your story if you’re up to talking about it. :)
@@kimikonyan I was 10 months old, and it only took one surgery! And then about ten years of speech therapy, two years of regular braces, and thats it!
@@juliaowens9516 That’s really neat! Thank you for sharing. I always love to learn more about other people. :)
Wow. So basically the vet has to frankenstein his upper jaw and palate to give him the best possible chance. Even then, he ain't gonna be normal ever. But he's happy and squirmy right now. Never knew the love...just to give a kitten a fighting chance. What a commitment! Thank you Kitten Lady.
Chouchou is such a strong little kitty (so floof!) and so lucky to have people caring for him so well.
Yes, very floof
@@nataliaentalia floofy even. Seriously, what a character!!
That’s not a cat, that’s a cross between a cloud and a cotton ball 😆 Little Chouchou is 100% adorbs 🥰
Hey squeaky kitty, he sounds just fine. A little cotton ball with eyes 👀🙋🏽♀️💕
I just can’t get over how cute he is 😂😂😂
I know
i literally get goosebumps when i see this little kitten. 😳
he's so cute i love him 🥺😍
I would love to help by donating towards his surgery when that time comes. I’m sure others here would do the same. He’s such a darling little powder puff.
he's going to be stunning when he's older, a literal cloud
Your so caring I wish you the best it life :)
@@Bob-pg6ri thank you so much
@@paulas2218 :)
I believe she is fundraising for the expenses of his current care and for the multiple surgeries in his future. You could check her site but I think (?) she gave the link on her First 3 Weeks of ChouChou video.
Chouchou is SO FLUFFY!!! I'm glad the fuzzy marshmallow is getting the care they need
He’s so lucky to have Hannah + others taking care of him 🥺
I love the chinchilla profile picture, he looks like my chinchilla
I can't get over his fluffy coat. 😭
I loved the way the dental specialist explained the surgery. So intriguing!
Agreed!
Honestly, one of my favorite things about your work is getting to see some cutting edge veterinary science. This sort of thing would never happen without the care and compassion of animal lovers, and that’s so awesome to me!
I know how much long term care a medically fragile cleft palate kitten needs and how difficult and exhausting constant tube feeding can be after watching the cleft palate kitten Aura at Canada's Tiny Kitten HQ rescue. That kitten needed a bone graft to close her palate and had to have additional surgery to close a hole that appeared. Congratulations to you all for having the emotional stamina to care for these kittens.
Yeah, I was thinking about Aura too! If anyone is worrying about what ChouChou may have in store, you may be pleased to know that Aura is a full grown, happy, energetic cat. While every kitten is different & ChouChou will probably have a very different medical journey, it's nice to see that even a very severe cleft palate doesn't have to stop a cat from living a fun life.
The Auracuda is doing so well! She received a donor bone from a dog to fix her issue, so now she’s a catdog!
Hannah had a call with Shelly as well so hopefully she got some ideas from that too that might help, haven't heard anything else but whatever happens chouchou will have the best care ever! ♥️
Chouchou is so teenie tiny and adorable. So glad he's in good hands!!
This little baby truly melts my heart
Your Mom must have been an extraordinary woman. Wow! Hugs to you.
When I was a kid, there was a family next door whose older daughter had a very bad cleft palate and lip. She had surgeries but they didn't do a great job, this was around 1960. My mom told me how her mother had to squirt formula down her throat with a dropper. They didn't tube feed at home back then. The baby cried almost nonstop 24/7 because she was so hungry all the time. They couldn't keep their windows open in the summer.
I was wondering how well that would go with a human baby. Looks difficult enough with a half pound fluff. Although the human doesn't have sharp little claws 🤔
I love ChouChou so much, he's such a cute little fluff. I'm glad he's getting the help he needs.
I got a cleft nose kitty. He's so stinking adorable. Yes he's seen the vet several times. No they're not going to "fix" it right now cause he's breathing fine and eating well. Just missing a nostril lol
When he's sitting on the palm of your hand, he looks like a small pile of snow. So small and fluffy and adorable! Not to mention very strong for his small size. ^^
I don't think I've ever clicked on a video so fast. I love Chouchou so much
ChouChou looks like a miniature tea cup poodle with that curly fluff. He has the perfect name and perfect foster family. 😍
A cross between a Persian, a poodle, a teacup, a dandelion, and a cotton ball!
Whenever I see Chouchou I gain strength. I live with a complicated condition that strangely enough can also be found in cats, that is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. In my case if it weren't for physical therapy at the beginning I would have end up in a wheelchair way earlier than I did (I had to start using one just last week and is only while I heal from a few vertebrae subluxation) was donated from my grandpa. Whenever I feel down, tired or in a huge amount of pain as soon as I wake up, I immediately go to Hannah's IG to see how Chou Chou is doing or just rewatch this videos and gain strength.
I have a foster older cat who's sleeping besides me right now, and he kept glancing towards me while hearing Chouchou's squeaks ^^' He was so confused.
He’s absolutely adorable!!! Like a dandelion puff with legs, a tail and a purr motor!!!
The veterinarian’s explanation was wonderful- it seems like a painful and very tedious surgery but i know chouchou will be given all necessary meds and care if and when the procedure is performed. As a dental hygienist, your video intrigues me- thank you for this great video! Very informative.
What a giant heart you have. Amazing. He is so lucky to have you.
He's such a gorgeous little cloud and I really hope all his surgeries have the best possible outcomes so he can lead as normal a life as possible. Sending lots of love to little Chouchou.
Im glad he is in your care since it seems to be an uniquely challenging one. You are probably one of the best skilled to look after this guy.
He's such a little sweetie. I feel so bad for him and his tube fed life, but so grateful you're looking after him. It's amazing to see a really experienced fosterer's knowledge and skills coming together for such a vulnerable little guy.
Poor ChouChou, that sounds like a big surgery. He’s lucky to have someone like you taking care of him.
Chouchou shouldn't have the right to be that adorable, I melt and I cry every time I see him because he's so small, so fluffy and his little meows just send me to my knees!
I sincerely hope everything works out for the little guy, he truly deserves the world.
You're going to be so devastated (AND PROUD/HAPPY) when his adoption day comes. He'll have to get postcards from his uncle Fergie
He looks like a real fighter I can’t wait to follow him on his journey to recovery 🥰
That's a very squeaky cotton fluff you've got there!
I'm so glad Chouchou didn't aspirate before his cleft palate was discovered. He's in the best hands between you and the specialists & I've adored watching this lil dandelion puff grow up. Go Chouchou!
Omg those crunchy purrs. 🥰 Chou Chou tries so hard to cat. What a sweetheart.
So glad he has you. I love this little guy so much and I hope he makes it into adulthood and has a wonderful home later in life.
Wow! Thank you for breaking it down for us. The doctor's explanation of the procedure was great should Chouchou be deemed a candidate. And as always, thank you for fighting on behalf of Chouchou and giving him a chance 🤍🤍🤍
Aww he is like a baby polar bear I hope he survives.
Hey there Hanna... i follow another lady who does (IMO) a great job with rescue kittens as well... Her name is Shelly from TinyKitten HQ A couple years back she also had a kitten with a cleft pallet you may want to talk with her as well, she would be a great source of information. Just a suggestion, and good luck with chouchou! Im routing for him!
When I was young, my bottom gums weren't wide enough to cover my teeth and it left a large part of them exposed. I got a procedure where they took some of the skin on the roof of my mouth and put it over the exposed part of the teeth. It all went well, the roof of my mouth healed, and now I have healthy gums. I hope this little guys similar procedure goes well
When he went *plop* over at 4:31 I just can’t 😹.
I was never faced with a kitten with issues other than encrusted eyes and I am glad that if ever I should be I would now have your videos, website and books as a ressource! You most certainly are responsible for life saving decidions made by other cat owners and fosters who would have otherwise had to let them be put to sleep or see them die... Thank you so much for granting us humans to be with those angels for many years on this earth, purring us to sleep and through life 😽
As someone with a cleft lip I really appreciated that you gave an explanation of what a cleft is and it shows that you really care about the kittens that you Foster and when something is wrong you do all of the research.
He's so precious. Everything is crossed that all goes well for his future. Like many I'll be hanging out for the next update. Thank you Kitten Queen.
I’m so excited to see chouchou when he’s older bc he’s so fluffy
He's very sweet and beautiful ❤️ Sending love and light for Chouchou.
I can't get over how FLUFFY Chouchou is! I wish you all the best with him. I hope he's able to continue growing into a healthy, happy cat.
As a fellow cleft plaete human I had surgery as a child, one side effect I had was tearing of my ear drum and having trouble swallowing or breathing with a cold
My nephew also was born with a cleft palate, luckily not a large one, one operation took care of it. But yes, his ear drums also tore, he has regular ear infections ever since, and very bad teeth in general. I wonder if these normal "secondary problems" with cleft palate also apply to cats, though 🤔
@@inoel75 another I have every winter was a sore throat and yes bad teeth I grew up with one of my front teeth missing, I actually had my teeth when born
Hmm, interesting... I never would have known. ♥️
Cute pom-pom ♥️ I am astonished by how soft and fluffy he looks. A literal furball.
He's sooo gorgeous. And both you & Andrew are kitty saints. Sweet baby Chochou. Only after watching what this Doc needs to do do I see how intricate & involved this issue really is. Everyone of you all are great!
You are an absolute Saint for helping the little kitten stay alive, good on you. I really hope the little guy gets things sorted so he can have a long happy life doing cat things. God bless you both.
I had to watch this twice, because I just stared at the cute little dandelion poof the whole time!
Thank you Hannah for your commitment to Chou-Chou. And what a learning curve looking after this little floof must be! He’s in the best possible hands and it’s great to see him loving life despite his issues, a testament to all the hard work you’re putting in. Keep going Chou-Chou!
Chouchou is a littIe floof cloud! Too cute! I'm glad that he's doing so well and there're options for his cleft palate.
He is just next level cute! He looks like a stuffed animal. ❤️ He's SO lucky to have you as a caretaker!
He's so cute, I know all of this is hard on a cat, I just hope all goes well, he's so unique and adorable.
Such a cute little floof 😍 It’s very interesting to learn about his challenges.
CHOUCHOU IS SUCH AN ADORABLE BABYYYYY
So glad Chouchou has you!! You are my inspiration to foster, started 3 years ago and tho the Rescue that I volunteered for is closing. I will continue again soon with another. Thank you for your spirit and information. You Rock!!
You're an angel. He's so precious! without you, this poor baby wouldnt have made it. T-T
I love Chouchou so much. I've been following along with him on Facebook. He's just the cutest baby I've ever seen. I hope he gets all the help he can get. ❤️
He is such a little angel ❤️ Bless you Hannah for making sure he is safe and thriving. 🙏
THAT FLOP AT 4:31 🤣🤣🤣 Chouchou is such a cutie pie, I love him 😍😍😍
Chou Chou is such an interesting little guy with an interesting case. He is in good hands and is lucky to have access to specialists that can help him.
I’m rooting for that lil scoop of mashed potato 👏🏻🥺
This reminds me of… me. I had a cleft palette, I had surgery. I was about to have two… So I relate to fuzzy Chouchou. HE IS ADORABLE!
I know… I spelt palate wrong 🤦🏻♀️
Chouchou is so stinking adorable. I can't stop watching him!!
Oh my goodness he is just the cutest thing ever! I wish I could adopt him!
Yes, angels walk among us, and you are one. May he save your life one day and repay you with much love. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
No way! That’s literally a living teddy bear🧸❤️
Love your videos, they’re always so informative and nice to watch!✨☀️
Hims such a floofy floofy marshmallow of a kitty! I bet he is really soft to pet. Hoping he gets well soon!! 😼💙🤗💙😼
I think we can all agree that Hanna makes up the best names😁
You are amazing Hannah. Chouchou is blessed to have you taking care of him and loving him.
such a precious little marshmallow 🥺🥺
So glad to see him doing so well. Thank you for giving us the education so we can follow him on his journey.
Had mine done in 1966. Had no real issues since. 👍❤it was a pretty bad one front to back including lip. Bone taken from shoulder blade to bridge it. These days I believe they use hip bone for it. Well done for caring. 👍
He's such a sweet kitty and so lucky to have you😻😻. I watch another rescue channel where a man found a kitten just like this one dumped at a park on a freezing cold day. The kitten saw him and ran after him so naturally he swooped up the baby kitten and took her home. He found out the kitten who looks to be the same breed, had a broken jaw. He kept the kitten so she's very well taken care of. He actually owns four disabled cats while still taking care of thousands of stray animals. Anyhow, it's sad people breed these cats when things can go so horribly wrong with them. At least the owners took the kitten to the hospital rather than dumping the poor thing. He's already got such a great start with you💖💖💖💖
Love his purring!
That is one little cute bugger right there!❤️
Chouchou is the love of my life. I want to hold.
i want to be like you, i am so thankful you exist. May you and your cats live forever
Healing secondary intention in the mouth is going to be interesting... Thank goodness those tissues heal quickly! I would be so nervous the whole time. I'm glad he has such a wonderful care team, and I am looking forward to updates! Hoping for the best for the little guy!
watching this now as Chouchou is recovering at home following the cleft palate surgery is incredible! You and Yige did such an amazing job to get him from this tiny ball of fluff to a size where he could have his surgery
Chouchou is so darn adorable. He's so blessed with you Hannah and all the amazing care takers.
He's the cutest little snow puff.
Cuteness to the max
One of the cutest kittens I've ever seen omg!
what an adorable fluff muffin
He is such a purry, fluffy cloud of cute
Chouchou is a meeping cotton ball and he is the luckiest kitten to having ended up in your care 💛
We love you Chouchou, I'm so proud of you and of Hannah. He's in the best hands possible and I am so excited for his future. I know it's stressful and full of uncertainty. I'm sending you guys all my love and good vibes xxx
He looks like a little teddy bear! Chouchou is adorable. ❤️ Thanks for posting!
I am so glad Chouchou has you
Thank you for sharing this. The vet is amazing and did an awesome job putting a complex procedure in lay terms for (most importantly) you and (secondarily) Chouchou's fan club online!! He's such a happy little floof and his crunchy purr is so sweet. Looking forward to following his development! Thank you again!!
Chouchou is so sweet & adorable!! I wish him the best with his future procedure, & a quick recovery💜🐱💜 So glad you are able to help these precious kitties, because you are such a blessing in this cruel world. Helping stray, feral & homeless cats & kittens is soooo rewarding because they show you their appreciation & that they love & need you🥰😽😻
I love that the specialist is actually going to do more research to find the best option for this little one. He is such a sweet little puff.
