00:00She was the size of my palm.

00:03She was way too young to be away from her mom.

00:07She had one eye shut.

00:09And I knew if I didn't act fast, she wouldn't survive.

00:12So I wrapped her in my scarf, found some kitten replacement formula,

00:15and tried my best to keep her going.

00:17I'm on the floor of the bathroom with a tiny kitten just trying to get her to eat.

00:22I stayed up the entire first night with her, feeding her every single hour,

00:26just hoping that she would make it till morning.

00:30This fits in one hand.

00:36The next day, we searched everywhere for her mom.

00:40Meow.

00:42I don't know, do some meow at them.

00:44I'm not entirely sure, but a kitten that small, best chance is a mom, so.

00:50But had no luck, so I took her to the vet.

00:52Here's the situation.

00:53So she's healthy.

00:54Other than that, she's having digestive issues.

00:56He gave me some extra food or whatever, like supplement thing to help her grow.

01:01But since she's three weeks old, she has to be fed every three hours.

01:06And she's gonna be okay.

01:08I plan to help her grow up and find her a home.

01:10Look at how she eats.

01:12But as I bottle-fed her,

01:14I've never in my life seen more hungry being.

01:16Watched her take her first wobbly steps and saw her little personality start to shine.

01:24What is this?

01:26Niels, what are you doing?

01:27My plan began to change.

01:33But could I really keep her?

01:36I was a full-time traveler, moving every few weeks, living in hostels and going on last-minute adventures.

01:41A kitten was a big responsibility and didn't really fit my lifestyle.

01:47But the truth was, there was no decision to be made.

01:50Okay, I think we're making some headway.

01:52She was already mine.

01:54She seems to be okay.

02:00Maybe a little confused, but overall, fine.

02:02The next day, I found us an apartment, booked a three-month stay, and gave her a name.

02:08Milagro.

02:09Mila for short.

02:10Milagro in Spanish means miracle.

02:13Because she was my miracle cat.

02:14But now our next challenge began.

02:17I was planning to continue traveling.

02:19And I knew Mila would have to become an adventure cat.

02:21Okay, I'm going to attempt to put Mila in her carrier today.

02:25Got her blanket and a couple of her toys.

02:28So hopefully that will kind of ease the stress of being contained.

02:37She doesn't seem super happy, but she also isn't crying.

02:40So that's good news.

02:41She's crying a tiny bit.

02:46I'm hoping if we just take a walk around the block, it won't be too traumatic for her.

02:49Hi.

02:51What do you think?

02:53I think for her first time, she did pretty good.

02:55I took her everywhere.

02:57We ran errands, went to the cafe, and took plenty of walks through the town we were living in.

03:02I tried to introduce her to every noise.

03:05Took her in taxis, buses, cars.

03:07And she loved it.

03:08She was totally unbothered and unfazed about the world around her.

03:12When she was four months old, it was time to take her first flight.

03:15Baby's first airport.

03:16I was terrified.

03:17Would she panic?

03:18Would she cry the entire time?

03:20Nope.

03:21She sat in my lap.

03:23Happy as can be.

03:24This trip took us to Colombia.

03:26And from there, we were off.

03:27This is my kitten child, Mila.

03:29Okay.

03:33Hi.

03:33Coming out?

03:37We ended up flying back up to Mexico, celebrating her first birthday at Playa del Carmen.

03:42Now she's lived in four countries, on three continents, and traveled thousands of miles.

03:47And every single day, she reminds me, I thought I was saving her.

03:50But really, she saved me.

03:52I love you.

03:56Bye.

03:57Bye.

03:58Bye.

03:59Bye.

04:00Bye.
