The amazing resilience of this tiny kitten left everyone amazed when she was just a few days old. Today, she continues to live her life to the fullest.
A kind woman rescued a abandoned tabby kitten from a parking lot outside a daycare center, and she soon found a new companion in a caring tuxedo cat.
Watch how the rescued kitten and her new best friend cuddle and bond in this heartwarming video.
Meet Mila, the adorable grey and white kitten who won the hearts of everyone at One Cat At a Time. She faced the world alone after losing her mother at birth, but her spirit and determination to survive touched everyone she met. At just three days old, she was already a fighter, needing constant care and love to thrive.
Marie, the founder of the organization, shared that when they were contacted to help this tiny orphan, they knew they had to step in. They named her Mila and dedicated themselves to giving her the round-the-clock care and attention she needed to grow strong and healthy.

Saving one Feline at a Time
The rescue team quickly set up an incubator for the little kitten, Mila. They placed her inside along with a cuddly sheep toy that had a heartbeat to keep her company. Mila happily made her way to the top of the sheep toy and started kneading away.
Since Mila didn’t have a mother cat to nurse from, she was in a delicate situation without the essential colostrum needed for a kitten’s immune system.
Mila woke up to a brand new day, ready to take on the world. As the only kitten in her litter, she defied the odds and thrived. Even though kittens usually do better with a sibling, Mila eagerly latched onto the bottle and eagerly drank down the formula, showing her determination and strength during meal times.
During mealtime, Mila started to become more vocal than ever. One by one, she would grab a spot in her nest and snuggle up with her sheep mama, making the best of what she had. Her determination and perseverance never failed to astound her foster family. As soon as her eyes opened, she would let out little cries for her dinner, enjoying every bite until her belly was full. Then, she would happily roll onto her back, falling asleep peacefully in the warmth of her cozy blankets, completely content.
Taking it one step at a time, Mila’s journey to survival was made possible with the help of an incubator for warmth and a sheep mama for nurturing care. With round-the-clock attention, she not only survived but thrived as a bottle-fed kitten. As she grew stronger, she moved on to a spacious playpen where she could play and show off her feline talents.
As she grew older, Mila’s true colors began to show. With each passing day, she became more fearless and playful. She would spend hours wrestling with her toys and climbing up her cat tree. Even when faced with the resident dog, she held her ground as if she owned the place.
Taking it slow, one feline at a time
As Mila embarked on a new adventure, it became clear that she required a family with a playmate who matched her energy and zest for life.
A Feline’s Journey
Kimchi, formerly known as Mila, wasted no time making herself at home in her new environment and easily charmed everyone residing there, even winning over the family dog, Stella. In just a week, the two were inseparable, spending their days playing, cuddling, and napping together.
Mila, now lovingly known as Kimchi, has discovered her loyal companion in Stella through the organization One Cat At a Time. Despite her challenging start as an orphan, Kimchi’s resilience has shone through, transforming her into a stunning feline who now has a loving family to share her days with.
