The wild kitten is found near the woods inside a tree hollow. The account that posted the animal rescue video identifies the feline as a serval and shows a family bringing it home. 

Bringing any animal home is a serious responsibility, but bringing a wild animal into a home is a bigger one because it is very different from raising a domestic pet. It's easy to imagine the exciting part of it, like the thrill of meeting an exotic creature that is so tiny, watching it explore your house, and getting to know its personality and its needs and wants. The hard part comes later. What kind of life will this animal need when it is no longer small enough to fit inside a blanket?

Affection is the first part of it, but that is not enough in order to raise the animal well. We should also recognize that a wild cat cannot be expected to fit neatly into our idea of a household companion like any other ordinary cat. Wanting to adopt him means being willing to learn, seek support, and get accurate information about the wild animal's needs. 

The family in this story welcomes the little wild cat into their home and grows attached to him as they watch him grow. The serval becomes part of their days, and all family members are happy to play with him and give him the proper care he needs beyond the excitement of their first encounter. The big cat becomes part of the family. He is truly a companion for this family, and they are happy to treat him as another family member. But despite his size, his playful personality makes him seem as curious as any other cat, and this family adores him just as they would a beloved house cat.
