Construction worker finds a litter of injured kittens on the job site, takes them to the vet on his lunch break, and ends up saving 1 tortie with the help of a retired couple in the waiting room: ‘He was sooo gentle’

Kittens can find themselves in the darndest places. Stuck in their curious adolescent dog, feline babies are not only over-equipped to climb up the highest trees or burrow deep into the narrowest drainage pipes, they're not exactly smart enough to get themselves out of purrcarious pawsitions. But that's where helpful hoomans come into play.

This construction worker was not the kind of man you'd expect to be cuddling up to the smolest kitten, but when a litter of kitties caught in the wrong place at the wrong time turned up on the job site, he stepped up to be a hero. With rough, workman's hands and a soft, cat lover soul, he managed to save 1 lucky tortie who will always have a place to call home from now on—all thanks to one strong man who skipped a meal on his lunch break to take the kitten to the vet.
