Guy Saving a Kitten Gets Ambushed by a Group of Them

Occurred on June 7, 2022 / Pioneer, Louisiana, USA



"While driving home and I run across what I thought was a baby kitten by itself. Stopped, backed up, and found this mob! Wasn’t ready to take them but couldn’t leave them for dead either. So I loaded them up and brought them home where we’re working to get them healthy and get a good home."

Here's a screenshot from his latest Instagram video. His pup seems to be taking it well, too.

still are, in times like we have now-a-days, with the trump nuts, who have shown the world just how inhuman they all are.

Thanks CB, for these wonderful snippets, I don't have access to Instagram (not a member) so this is a bonus indeed, for my day to start off wonderfully (and warms my soul too).

Especially his parting shot:

"I thought I was rescuing one. Hot-diggity-dog!"

If they'd been born in the wild, I don't think they would have come running to him the way they did.

What a kind man. Gotta love a guy who helps kitties.
