Serendipity reminds us that we're always in the right place at the right time. Even when your car breaks down on the side of the road, purrhaps it was by divine kitty intervention that your transmission kicked right at this moment, because you never know when a forlorn feline is going to cross your path. 

The man in this next story found a kitty that was more down-on-his-luck than he was. After his car broke down, he was in for a surprise visit from the cat fairy. Somehow, although the cat lover was trudging through the winter snow for the next 5 miles down the highway, the day took a turn when the man spotted a tiny, furry object getting hurled out of the passenger window of a car on the road. To his horror, that little bundle of fluff was a cat! 

Read on for the rescue story that defies all odds, where a family became blessed with the luckiest cat alive. It's a good thing this guy's car broke down!
