Saved from a shelter, a cat reunites with his long-lost feline brother and becomes completely devoted, forever thankful for their unexpected reunion

It was June 26th when rescue came for the little kitten named Unagi. When a woman saw on a website that a kitty, looking exactly like her cat Suzume, was at at the animal control center in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, where kittens can only stay for a week, she knew she had to adopt him. Just on the day of deadline, she took a day off at work, hit the road at 4:30 AM, and went to give him new home. When Unagi arrived home, Suzume was very excited to know him. Not long after their acquaintance, they formed a brotherly bond and they became inseparable. Suzume is a very caring brother to Unagi, he is a rescue cat too, and knows that Unagi needs just love and care. Scroll down to see some photos of this adorable tandem and take a look at their Instagram for more.

Meet Unagi, the kitten who found rescue on the same day he was going to face death row.

Gladly, Unagi now has a family and a brother that looks just like him.

At first, Unagi felt scared and he just stayed in the carrier.

Just like Unagi, Suzume was also a rescue kitten so he knew exactly how to treat his new brother.

When the two first saw each other, they just greeted each other from a distance.

But after Suzume’s efforts of making Unagi feel at home, they finally became comfortable with each other.
