Sometimes the smaller something is, the better—think mini horses, travel-size homes, and itsy-bitsy bottles of sake at a sushi bar built for a hamster. But when an animal is the size of a computer mouse due to a lack of nutrition, it’s anything but cute.
It’s downright sad.
When Reddit user, abbeyxflabby, noticed a four-day-old ginger kitten abandoned under her porch, she felt compelled to take him into her home and clean him up because he was so little and helpless. She soon discovered that his petite size was due to his difficulty eating and going potty, which may explain why his mother had abandoned him.
She started feeding the kitten (that she and her parents named Nacho) with a bottle, and the orange-coated cutie soon turned into quite a handsome Tom Cat!
To see Nacho’s incredible transformation from a tiny taco into one hot tamale, see our gallery below!
If you find his journey as incredible (and adorable) as we do, make sure to SHARE this post with everyone who makes you feel warm and fuzzy!
Nacho was so miniscule at first—he was the size of a mouse!

The animal kingdom can be cruel, and the kitty was having a hard time with his digestive cycle, which may be why his mother left him to die.

This tiny ball of fuzz needed around-the-clock care in order to survive.

A bottles came to the rescue…

...but Nacho still had a hard time eating.

Yet, that doesn’t last long, and Nacho soon began drinking milk. Feeling much healthier, he opened his eyes.

He even made a friend with the family’s pup, Huli.

A year later, Nacho is now a big, healthy burrito of a gato. Hoorah!
