Even the homeless aren't free from the shackles of the cat distribution system.

You'd think being homeless would let you off the hook for some things. You don't even have a home, so you're pretty much exempt from any responsibility of life. So then why would the cat distribution system gift you of all people with a kitten lost in the heat of summer? This homeless man knew that he doesn't have the means to take care of a kitten, and he also couldn't stand to see the kitten suffer in the heat in the middle of summer. He promptly rescues the kitten from the streets and brings him to AC, and in this case it's a nearby CVS. He tells the workers the story, and they decide who is going to take the kitten. One kind human steps up to the challenge and says he'll take the kitten home as his own. After a vet visit and 2 weeks, he and the kitten are inseparable. The little guy is 9 weeks old, just a baby! It's miraculous to see that even without having much in the world, someone was kind enough to want to help a kitten in need.

How could someone not want to save this kitten?! This thing is so adorable. It's insane to think that homeless people still exist. It's such an issue, and the world isn't closer to solving the homeless problem than we were years ago. It's 2026 and you'd think that there would be some sort of reform. Being homeless is one of the worst fates a person can go through. Not having somewhere to live tampers with everything about the world. You can't even function or take care of yourself, and it's impossible to live like that. From waking up on the streets, to not having a shower, and not even having a place to have proper privacy is absolutely insane. There really needs to be something done about it, but it seems that there's only more and more separations between lifestyles and homeless issues are only becoming worse and worse. But this guy really is a saint for saving the kitten's life.
