A small injured kitten was dragging his little feet behind him when a good hooman spotted him at a garage sale and decided to rescue him. Not gonna lie, the second I saw this video, my heart went out of my chest a little bit!
Laura K. Balke is the good hooman in question, and she uploaded a wholesome video on TikTok showing the injured kitten's journey - that left me a little tearful and a lot inspired.
I can't even imagine how difficult it must have been for Laura to find the little critter in that sad state, I'd have been in tears just at the sight of the poor guy!
But it's so heartwarming to know that people like her exist. It gives me hope for the world, and I'm sure you'll feel the same after watching the video.
So without further ado, I invite you to scroll down and check out the screenshots I've prepared for you, and take a look at the video of the whole expedition which I like to call 'Rescuing George'!
Let's join George's journey by scrolling through the screenshots.
It all began when Lauren dropped by a garage sale in rural Ohio, where she found a small kitten dragging his hind legs on the concrete floor. She knew immediately that this ‘free’ kitten was priceless, and adopted him on the spot.
Unfortunately, there were no vets or rescues in the area who could help, so she bundled him up in a warm blanket and took him on a road trip. George loved to be carried around, and Laura showered him with love! But she knew she couldn't give him the proper medical attention he needed, so she made sure to get in touch with someone who could.
Luckily, the Ranch Cat Rescue were happy to take George in! He had a few issues with bladder control, so they even got him diapers that fit him perfectly.
Then they began helping little George gain strength in his legs by giving him hydrotherapy sessions, which was a fabulous exercise for the little guy! The photo of him swimming around in a tub is absolutely priceless.
See? How cute can it get?
Well, if you have to ask…
Get this:
