Veterinary nurse Melanie Humble took the three-week-old kittens to her Aberdeen home.
The kittens seemed to think Summer the rabbit was their mother and began to climb all over her and try to feed from her.
Efforts will be made to find the four males and two females permanent homes in the coming weeks.
Melanie, 29, told the BBC Scotland news website: "The abandoned kittens were handed in when they were about three weeks old and I took them home.
"Summer the rabbit was taken inside on Bonfire Night because of the fireworks and the kittens seemed to really like her and thought she was their mother."
She added: "They were trying to get milk from her and climbing over her. And Summer was not bothered by them at all.
"Summer is five months old and she's gigantic. It is lovely to see them all together.
"They are all doing well and Cats Protection will re-home them." "

I see no one commented on this story. What a shame. This is a wonderful inspirational story. Maybe we humans can learn a lot from animals.
Awesome post. Thank you very much.
You're welcome, Titania. You don't see many stories about rabbits... And I had to include the pic.
OK, this story seriously made my day :) The little kitties and the bunny definitely hit the spot!
Frankly...I'm worried those kittens will grow up with some SERIOUS ISSUES. ;-D
Glad you loved the story, Bamboo Blitz!
So Nikita, do you think the kittens will start hopping around?...
