Toby is thought to have crawled into the washing machine in Stonehaven before it was switched on.
The collapsed kitten was rushed to the local vets, where staff managed to save the cold and almost drowned pet.
Vet David McLaren said: "The kitten's belly was full of water. But we slowly warmed the kitten up and it came back to the land of the living."
The kitten had been taken to Kirkton Veterinary Centre after being discovered in the household appliance.
Mr McLaren said: "It had been in the washing machine for half-an-hour.
"We gave it glucose and oxygen, and it became more responsive after about three-quarters of an hour.
"The kitten's belly was full of water but it never drowned. There were bumps and bruises, but nothing was broken."
The kitten is now back home in the Aberdeenshire town in a five-strong litter.
