He was driving home on a cold, rainy night when something tiny caught his eye on the side of the road.
At first, he thought it was trash — until it moved.
A soaking wet, barely-breathing kitten curled up in a ditch, too weak to even cry.
He didn’t hesitate. He pulled over, wrapped her in his hoodie, and took her home. “She wasn’t even meowing,” he said. “Just shaking.”
That night, she got a warm bath, a blanket, and a name: Hope.
The first few days were tough. She wouldn’t eat, and barely moved. He stayed up nights just to make sure she was still breathing.
But then… day four, her ears perked up. Day five, she took her first steps. By day seven?
She was sprinting through the house like she owned it.
The kitten who nearly froze to death on the roadside is now a playful, healthy ball of energy — purring, climbing, cuddling, and completely stealing hearts.
What started as a rescue turned into a bond.
And that tiny, broken life?
She saved his heart just as much as he saved hers.
