My previous post was about one of the two kittens I saved being near death and the vet said there was nothing we can do and suggested putting him down. As I said before, we decided against that and took him home to keep him warm. He slept in bed with us tucked into a heating pad. Still as weak and frail as before.

Suddenly around 5AM he woke up. He couldn’t stay still. He had so much energy. He kept jumping off our bed. So I put him and his heating pad in his tent with his brother. A few hours later we went to bottle feed him and he drank sooooo much. We tried giving him some wet food and he devoured it. He’s been acting pretty normal since. Still small but gaining weight.

So despite the vet saying it’s near impossible him for survive he proved them wrong and pulled through!

Thanks for the support on people who commented or otherwise thought about us to send good vibes.

Aww they're so cute! Hope they both keep doing well from now on. Cats are absolutely amazing family members.

Omg, look at those little floofs! How old are they now? From your original post, I wasn't sure if they're 3 weeks now or were 3 weeks old when you found them 3 weeks ago.
