This is the touching moment a young girl uses a hair dryer to warm a kitten found outside in the cold, nearly freezing to death.

Heartwarming footage shows the ginger feline slowly coming to life after being found motionless in Hubei, China, on November 23.

Another video, filmed seconds earlier, captures the distressed girl sobbing as the cat initially does not respond to the warmth.

In a desperate attempt to revive the tiny creature, the young saviour carefully blows warm air over it while tears stream down her face.

Her kindness and quick thinking bring the kitten back to life, and in a third clip, it is seen drinking milk while dressed in a pink, fuzzy sweater to ensure it does not get cold again.
