Chobi was jogging near a pond one evening and heard kittens crying. As a volunteer for a rescue group in Japan, her instinct immediately led her to look for the source of the crying. She spotted a suspecious box and walked towards it.
The cries got louder as she approached it. When she opened the box, there were two tiny little kittens whose eyes just recently opened squirming around in the box. Right away Chobi decided to take the little kittens home with her.
“It was apparent that someone abandoned the kittens there. When I got home, Ran, my ginger cat peeked through the hole at the bottom of the box to check out the new comers.”
“The box was so tall that there was no way the kittens could escape. It was covered with a lid. One of the kittens had a closed eye, so I took them to the vet right away. The doctor said the kittens were about 7 to 10 days old. He cleaned the little one’s eye, so she could finally open it.”
Chobi fed the kittens around the clock, weighed them in every few days to make sure they were growing and getting stronger.
“I am so glad that I was able to watch them grow and give them the second chance to live a wonderful life. I feel like I am the lucky one for finding them. It was truly rewarding.”

awww, look at the spots on that belleh!
such sweeties!
Precious story and precious lives. I'm so glad you found them and cared for them so well. <3
The little kitties are gorgeous. How mean for anybody to just abandon them! So glad they were found and taken care of

Awwww. How cute.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a tabby that I rescued from the middle of a state highway. She was about 4-6 wks old just sitting there with cars passing each way. I saw what it was when I passed, immediately turned around and scooped her up. I worked at a Vet's office at the time & took her into work with me. Her little eyes and nose were all crusted over. My boss let me do all the necessary tests and such on her. Those little babies remind so much of Dixie when she was a little one. To see her now, you wouldn't believe she was ever that itty bitty!!
look at the little ear twitch while nursing! I had no idea they did that.
Isn't it precious? When they latch onto the nipple just right and can get just milk instead of air, it's almost like they're surprised that they're getting as much as they are.
Feeding baby kittens is such a joy. (:
Chobi…….thank you for having such a kind and generous ^..^<
My cat Missy was a rescue at two weeks old and we bottle fed her like these two precious angels – this video shows exactly what we experienced with Missy! My cat Bubbles took it upon herself to be the surrogate mother, despite never having had babies herself. Missy's little ears would wiggle like the kitten here when she got her bottle. And we would burp her, too.
Awww how adorable, and what lucky little kitties that they were found by a caring person!
These are the most adorable little tabby kittens! How anyone could be so cruel as to abandon helpless little kittens is way beyond me! Thank you Chobi for finding them and caring for them. There should be more people like you in the world. It would be a much better place! Give those darlings a 'smooch' for me!
Awww.. I own a tabby cat too!!
These two little creatures are so lovely!!
Bless you Chobi for taking care of these precious babies. I can see from the video that they are growing into happy and healthy kittens!
How very sweet, and the one is quite a talker! I'm so glad they found someone to take care of them!
Adorable! How lucky those precious babies are that someone cared enough to do the right thing.
The ginger cat is a beauty!
Chobi thanks so much for taking care of these babies! That one kitty did love talking for sure! The video was darling! I can't believe how small they were – they looked like tiger cubs! Did you keep them or find them a home?

Such a beautiful story. And you know what? The more animal people I meet, the more beautiful stories there are to tell.
What beautiful, precious little creatures! How fortunate they were found and saved! I have fostered tiny babies like these — and have incredibly wonderful memories:)

Wish there were less peole abandoning and more people like you rescuing.
How anyone could abandon two such precious and adorable helpless kittens is incomprehensible. They are truly lucky that they were found by someone who would care for them with such compassion. Thank you for being a wonderful human being!
Oh my goodness! They are so tiny and absolutely darling. I am so glad there are people who care enough to help animals in need.
So amazing how captivating these babies are and it is really good to read of compassion instead of something tragic. Lovely creatures.
Very sweet story.If we could be like that with each other in life+save each other instead of killing.
