‘He screamed the whole way to the vet, then fell asleep in my hoodie’: Tiny orange kitten rescued from highway traffic now lives a cozy life full of cuddles and feline bliss

We love kittens. We love kittens so much that it physically pains us. We want to cradle them. We want to tuck them into tiny blankets. We want to dedicate our lives to doting on them 24 hours a day. But alas, kittens don't just fall into your lap… unless, of course, you happen to be one very lucky human on their morning drive.

This person didn't expect their day to start with a full-on feline rescue, but when they spotted the tiny criminal on the highway median, everything changed. What followed was a dramatic highway extraction, a hasty drive to the vet, and one tiny, grimy orange kitten meowing nonstop the entire ride, only to curl up in their rescuer's hoodie pouch and fall fast asleep the moment he realized he was finally safe. He was barely 3 weeks old and underweight, but a few pouches of kitten mousse and a warm blanket later, he was already melting hearts. And here's the best part: by some stroke of magic, the perfect home was waiting for him.
