When the kitten was born at Swan Veterinary Clinic in Midvale outside Perth, veterinarians did not expect it to last long, Western Australia Today reported. The head veterinarian said in a radio interview she did not expect it to last through the night.

The male was one of a litter of three, but its siblings were normal. While the kitten ate out of only one of its mouths because the other had a cleft palate, it could mew with both and at the same time.

The kitten was released from the clinic to spend its last hours with its mother.
