'He had just given up': Lucky kitten saved by highway driver who pulls over to make last-minute rescue, now he's the smallest addition to their awwdorable family

Hey there, feline fam! We're not normally ones to believe in superstition, like how black cats are supposed to be bad luck. Now, that doesn't mean that on any given Friday the 13th, we might be taking a little more caution than usual. It can't hurt, right? Well, it turns out that the meowgic of Friday the 13th can go both ways - for the good, and the bad. This smol clementine kitten below is a purrfect example of how spooky these days can be!

This poor kitty was abandoned on a highway, and no one stopped for him, until one driver took notice. They pulled over and scooped up the flustered feline in distress and immediately took him to the vet. Thanks to their last-minute rescue, this little guy is healing up nicely, safe and sound. Apparently, the CDS goes to the extremes on Friday the 13th, and if not for this wholesome hooman, well, we don't want to think of the alternative. See more pics of this kitty cutie below!
