The video shows a girl crying uncontrollably while trying to save a freezing cat. She gently yet continuously uses a hair dryer to help warm the cat.

Were all her efforts in vain?

Thankfully, no. The video shows that the girl’s efforts paid off, and the cat slowly regained its strength. A shot even captures the kitty drinking milk while wearing a sweater.

The incident took place in China and was first shared on the country’s social media platform Douyin after being recorded by her 39-year-old dad. Reportedly, it was posted with a caption that read, “After two hours of persistence and effort, the kitten finally came back to life.”

The video later spread to other social media platforms, including Instagram. “You didn’t ask to cry today, but admin delivered,” reads the caption of a post shared on an Instagram page called Mothership.

Take a look at the heartwarming video:

What did social media say?

People couldn’t stop appreciating the kid’s kind gesture. “So sweet and kind of her. I’m glad the kitty is fine now,” praised an Instagram user.
