Let's start off the new year with something overwhelmingly cute — baby wild cats!

I've long been aware of the treasure trove of cute baby animal photos (not just baby cats) on the website ZooBorns.

In the past year, ZooBorns shared the debuts of many baby cats at zoos across the world. Enjoy these favorites, and make sure to follow the site's Facebook or Twitter for updates on the cats born throughout 2015.

To reiterate, ZooBorns' site is full of baby wild animal photos and stories of all species, many that are rare and lesser known. The site's mission is to build awareness and support for wildlife conservation programs while it educates viewers of all ages. 

While not cats, other favorite stories/photos of 2014 included:
