This Family Bought A Brand New Boat. But What They Received With The Boat? OMG

After buying a boat and bringing it home (traveling across several states), a family found two tiny kittens inside. The kittens were so young that they hadn’t even opened their eyes!

Introducing Pistachio and Raisin – 9-days old! Pistachio and Raisin are fantastic names! The kittens were taken to a foster home after the family brought them to the shelter – these kittens were too young for the family to care for themselves.


The twin kitties needed people with experience to give them care 24/7. The kittens have learned quickly to drink from the bottle – here it looks like he’s really enjoying the milk!

At their foster home, they got nicknames Raisin’s was Moe and Pistachio was Curly (note the curly hair). The kittens here are 2-weeks old, and their eyes are open!

They are underweight for kittens their age. Raisin and Pistachio were moved into a playpen so they can test out their legs without getting into too much trouble!

They are not as underweight anymore, and each weighs about 7.65 oz. – but they still have a long way to go.

How adorable, holding hands! Raisin is slightly smaller than Pistachio – who tops the scales at 303 oz, the bruiser!

Once the kittens are weaned and have been spayed and neutered, the family that found them will adopt them both! Look, mom, no hands!!

The foster mom did a great job caring for Pistachio and Raisin, and they have a family waiting for them – awesome!

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the  Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning,  the Dodo  reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,”  caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore.  We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist.  Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change.   I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...
