Rescue stories of the feline kind come in all shapes and sizes. Some are sweet and simple, others a terrifying and treacherous. The story that we have lined up for you today is somewhat of the former kind although, as the title suggests, it sure does start on a serious note, as our brave rescuer met our protagonist catto just after it had been hit by a car.

A terrible thing to have happened, but with great luck it seems as it meant that this hooman could step in to help the hurt cat. And help she did, as her trip to the vet with this stray cat is eventually what got him adopted and placed into his furever home with a loving cat momma who will not let him be in such a dangerous position ever again. Score one for cat lovers all around!

Wow, that must have been quite the ordeal for both the cat and the hooman involved. Could you imagine just walking about your everyday life, only to be confronted by a hit-and-run on a feline? It would bring us to our knees, quite frankly. Thank goodness, this brave woman had the headspace to act fast and get this guy to a vet!

And the truly sad thing is that had this woman not intervened, there is a good chance that his poor cat child would have been ignored by a majority of passers-by. Which is a harrowing reflection of where we have gotten to as a society, surely we can do better than we are…
