Watch: Chinese girl cries while saving a kitten from freezing to death
The young girl’s efforts paid off as the cat gradually regained her strength
A viral video capturing a young girl’s desperate and compassionate effort to save a freezing kitten has touched hearts of people on social media. The incident occurred in Hubei, China, where a ginger kitten, barely clinging to life due to extreme cold, was rescued by the unwavering determination of a little girl armed with nothing more than a hair dryer and her tears of compassion.
The video, initially shared on the Chinese social media platform Douyin, shows a kitten lying motionless on a table. A young girl attempts to revive it by gently blowing warm air from a hair dryer over its frail body. As her efforts continue, tears well up in her eyes, and she eventually breaks down in tears, yet she refuses to give up.
After nearly two hours of persistence, the kitten began to show signs of life. The heartwarming clip transitions to a scene where the revived cat is seen drinking milk and dressed in a cozy sweater. The transformation highlights the young rescuer's success and the kitten's resilience.
The video, recorded by the girl’s 39-year-old father, includes a caption: “After two hours of persistence and effort, the kitten finally came back to life.” It also features a charming sketch of the girl’s act of kindness.
