Hey, I Can Has-ers. Don't you just hate it when you go into the store for one thing, and then leave with twenty other things you didn't actually need? Usually we walk out with snacks and other sweet things that we didn't plan on buying, but the wholesome woman in this post walked out with a teeny tiny tabby kitten! She was shopping for cat stuff at Walmart when three college students approached her, saying that they found the kitten abandoned outside their dorms and they couldn't keep it.

What do you do when someone presents you with a helpless kitten that has nowhere else to go? Well, you take it of course! She took the tiny fur baby home, got them to the vet, and cleaned up them up to take them to an adoption center. If this awwdorable cat story doesn't renew your faith in humanity, we don't know what will!

    She went in for litter and a litter box, and she came out with someone to use them! This tiny tabby is so awwdorable, no wonder she couldn't resist taking her home and cleaning her up.

    Three very nice young college students caught me on the cat aisle and explained that they found this fella in the busy hwy in front of Walmart, and none of them could keep it in their dorms. Of course, I couldn't say no. I do actually try to save animals and find them homes sometimes. I had a group of babies from the house next door that tenants abandoned along w all their cats and kittens. So I figured I'd add

    Those college students are really smart - waiting around in the cat aisle to meet someone who would actually consider taking the kitten. Shows how serious they were about finding the baby a home!

    him to the group once he was seen at the vet bc they looked about the same size. They're now about to be sent up north for adoption. But it's a fact. You can never leave Walmart without that one or more extra item!!! assos

    Jimmy_ray2 23 hr. ago I thought wall-mart was selling kittens now... Remember though, if you ever find a kitten just out and about, call the SPCA. Best case scenario, this little guy has brothers and sisters scattered in the area. Worst, someone threw him out of a car.

    larryspub 21 hr. ago Cat distribution system caught my family in the Walmart before too For us there was a tiny kitten in the rain hiding under a tire of the car my mom parked next to. It was cold and rainy, couldn't just leave her there. Sweetest little angel kitty and we had her for 17 years.

    zeemonster424 · 20 hr. ago Bengal I had a Walmart kitten once! I was in pet food and heard the familiar scream of a kitten. I went to find the source and offer my help (I rescue and foster). I happened to have my foster enclosure empty, so she graciously gave me this tiny black kitten. I gave her the info of the rescue so she could look for updates.

    Named her Shuri. Unfortunately I think she had Panleukopenia, and we lost her. She was warm, well fed, had toys, and was extremely loved. It could have been tragic if someone else had taken her home and spread panleuk to their own cats.

    Pretty-Witness-5774 OP 18 hr. ago Cats are highly underrated. They can be very smart. They're just as loving as a dog if given love and just great pets. I love all animals, but kitties have my heart. I also have a little strawberry blonde chihuahua who is the sweetest chihuahua I've ever seen. She doesn't bark unless someone is at the door. She's never bitten anyone. She's shy and gentle. Her name is Coco.
