Santa Claws often takes the form of a chubby fella with a long, white beard who wears a red suit and rides in a sleigh. Sometimes, though… Kind strangers take their gift-giving to the next level, making a young child's wish come true. In the video you'll watch below, you'll meet an angelic human who decides to make a little boy's wish come true using Walmart's Angel Gift Tree gift-giving process. His wish? A new calico kitty after losing his emotional support puppy.

Losing an animal is hard, but writing off animals completely is the wrong approach. The little boy featured here didn't need to be told that; He knew his heart was ready to love another animal in need.

Not only did the kind stranger adopt a young adult calico cat from the shelter, but she also bought him litter, food, toys, treats, and even a $200 gift card for additional items he might need! It doesn't take much to change someone's life, and this generous woman decides to give the gift of not only life, but also of love, to both the cat and the little boy. Scroll below to check out some of our favorite snapshots and then the entire video!
