Woman Heard Strange Sounds Coming From A Bush. When She Shone Her Light? OMG.

Chirp, Chirp! Sounds like a bird – right?! That is what Imgur user arthisbeapirate thought too when she and a neighbor heard the odd chirping inside a bush at their apartment complex one night. Curious, they investigated and found, not birds, but kittens!

It was dark, and the kittens were pretty deep in the bush, but it looked as if the kittens were just a few days old.

They were not certain if momma cat was nearby or not, so they waited, but kept a close eye on the babies.

When momma cat didn’t return, and the babies seemed to be struggling to live, they stepped in and pulled the kittens out of the bush.

There were four kittens in all, three of them were stuck together by a very tangled umbilical cords.

Sadly, only one kitten survived the ordeal – she was small, but wasn’t giving up!

Every 2 hours they fed the kitten and kept her warm.

SO the kitten wouldn’t feel alone, the veterinarian suggested a stuffed animal to keep her company!

Slowly, the kitten grew stronger and started to venture outside the carrier.

They named her Ripley in honor of Eleanor Ripley (heroic survivor of the Alien movies). Here we see that Ripley has her eyes open and is enjoying a belly rub!

They said it was so amazing to watch Ripley change from a tiny like alien-like creature into a cat without having a feline parent show her how to bathe, or scratch or stretch!

Ripley has settled into herself and her home! Ripley recently turned one and loves life!

“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...

SIGN NOW! BAN THE SALE OF CRUEL ‘LIVE ANIMAL’ KEYCHAINS

>>> Sign the petition now to tell China to ban live animal keychains! <<< Turtles, fish and lizards are being stuffed and sealed into plastic bags and sold on the streets as keychains in China. The cost of these animals lives? About $1.50. Swimming in a small pool of colored water, the animals only last until the oxygen is used up. Then, they can theoretically be released and kept as pets – although it’s doubtful that the same people who think an animal makes a nifty trinket have the slightest clue about how to properly care for them. In an interview with CNN, David Neale, animal welfare director of Animals Asia said, “Lack of food and diminishing oxygen concentrations within both the water and the small amount of air in these plastic pouches will cause the animals to die in a relatively short period of time after the pouches are sealed.” 😠So Cruel😠 ACTUAL REAL LIVE ANIMALS are being sealed into tiny plastic pouches and sold as f**king ke...
