Abandoned kitten who can’t put weight on her paw gets scooped off the street and spends the first day in her new life tagging along to her rescuer’s workplace

Everybody wishes they could bring their cats to work, even if said cats don't know yet that they belong to you.

I always dreamt of bringing my cat to work. Well, not specifically to work, but generally everywhere I go, which includes the workplace. Granted, all my colleagues, bosses, and administration will adore her if they ever meet her in the office - we are I Can Has Cheezburger workers, after all. That should be an automatic testament to how much we love cats, no need to ask us. If my cat came to work with me, she'd be adored and pampered all day long. My colleagues will pet her, my bosses will give her treats between meetings, and the administrative workers will take breaks to watch her nap (because a napping cat is the cutest thing ever).

But alas, my cat is too much of a house princess to withstand all of that. She loves the house as her kingdom - because it is. She absolutely hates going out in her cat carrier (although a leashed walk around the block is fine, until something scares her and she needs to run back home). I will never imagine putting her through the torture of a car ride, unless it's something urgent like a vet visit. And don't even get me started on getting her familiarized with a new space like the office, which is full of people and stuff that's constantly happening. She will absolutely freak out.

So my cat won't see my office, but this one teeny tiny kitten I saw below went to an improvised "bring your cat to work day" with her rescuer, who rescued her literal hours before she brought her to the workplace. How cool is that? And the kitten was doing so fine, despite her injury (spoiler alert: she's fine). Seeing a cat person so dedicated to a kitten they want to adopt makes my heart flutter with joy, and this one is no different. I love seeing a happy ending, especially if the subject is a stray kitten in need. That's a thing that'll always make me happy, and I'm sure other cat lovers such as you will agree with the sentiment.

Seeing a cat limping on the streets is never a great sight. I've never seen one myself - cats will usually go and hide in a safe space if they're that hurt. They prefer the safety of solitude if they're in a situation where they can't step on one of their paws. But not this kitty - she's right up there, on the sidewalk next to other humans, asking for help. She's a smart cookie. And lucky for her, she got the help she needed, sprinkled with love, care, affection, and another kitten friend (scroll down to see).

She's such a good girl, riding the backpack like that. My cat would never. She has a cat backpack, but she can't stand it. I honestly prefer to put her in a cat carrier, but even that is a stretch for my house princess.
