People really go out of their way to save animals, and that's the kind of energy we could all use in our lives. In the story below, the protagonist is a man who hears some meowing outside. He sees several kittens running around across the street from his house. He easily takes in three of them, then goes back to the fourth. His bathroom is full of hungry, purring, pawdorable kitties who are just beginning their furrever home journey. He sees a pregnant mom cat outside and goes to get her as well. His path is stopped by a car driving by, spooking the mom cat so that she jumps out of his arms. He rushes to emergency care to take care of the bite and scratches, but his heart remains in a good place. 

This man went from catless to having four kittens to take care of in one day. It's always magical and special to read what people are willing to do to save innocent and pawdorable animals from the streets. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
