This little black cat got very lucky, according to the animal rescue organizations FOUR PAWS and Vietnam Cat Welfare.

One night, when he was just about 2 weeks old, a pack of stray dogs chased him and his sibling into a graveyard and had them surrounded.

When the wild dogs killed his sibling, the kitten started screaming for help. He tried to hide next to his dead sibling, per the Vietnam Cat Welfare's Facebook post.

Luckily, a family heard the cat's calls for help and came to his rescue.

The little cat was in bad shape by the time they were able to get to it and needed to be bottle-fed around the clock.

After three days, the kitten gained a little weight and got a name: Kinky.

Vietnam Cat Welfare recently took to Facebook and shared an update on the little furball's progress – Kinky is now living with a foster family and doing much better!

Ever since his rescue, this black cat has had nothing but good luck.
