To her family, Moxi is a miracle kitten. On October 29, 2017 in Arlington, WA, her mother Kiki was having problems giving birth. She had been in labor for 60 hours. She needed a C-section, to survive and to give her premature babies a chance. After some strangers stepped forward to help, the emergency vet operated on her.
Sadly, out of three kittens, only one made it – little calico Moxi.

At first, it didn't appear that Moxi would live, either. When the vet handed her to her human mama, Chelsea Agley, she was cold to the touch and hardly breathing. She only weighed 82 grams (2.9 ounces). Chelsea decided to rub her with a towel and this revived the kitten. Her toes began to turn pink.
Soon, Moxi was warming up and began to mew.
Her mother Kiki wouldn't touch her for the first day, so Chelsea stepped in again and trickle-fed her milk. Soon, Kiki took an interest in her baby and Moxi began to nurse.
And grow. And grow some more. Kiki turned out to be a great mama after her uncertain start. Moxi was also slowly introduced to the other four-legged denizens of the household, which included a gray tiger cat, Charlie, and two rambunctious dogs.
Meanwhile, Moxi was becoming a hit on social media as her story spread far and wide. Now at six weeks, she is a healthy and growing feline internet sensation.
