California Girl Rescues Abandoned Kitten Found On Busy Highway And Drops Everything To Help
One ordinary day, Kaitlyn was driving home through Covina when something unexpected caught her eye. As she slowed near a busy street, a tiny gray blur darted right in front of her car.
At first, she feared she had hit a rat or some other small animal. But when she looked closer, she saw it was a little gray kitten.
He was no bigger than a handful, about seven weeks old, trying to cross the street with cars rushing by.
Kaitlyn couldn’t believe her luck. Just days before, she had been watching TikTok videos about rescuing cats, imagining how amazing it would be to find one of her own. And now here was this tiny kitten, right in front of her.
She quickly parked and went back to check on the kitten. At first, Milo, who was scared and hissing, wouldn’t come near her. Kaitlyn thought, “I’m really not a cat person,” since she’d always felt more connected to dogs.
But she couldn’t just leave the little guy alone in the street. She carefully reached out, and after some struggle, Milo finally trusted her enough to walk right into her hands.
That was the moment Kaitlyn knew this was meant to be.
Holding Milo close, she walked back to her car, and the kitten meowed softly like he finally felt safe. During the whole ride home, Milo climbed up to her shoulders and kept meowing, as if telling her his story.
Once home, Kaitlyn made a cozy spot for Milo in the bathroom, complete with food and a soft bed. Over the next few nights, she checked on him often.
Every time she entered the room, Milo would hiss a little at first but then calm down and sniff her hand. Slowly, trust grew between them.
After about five days, Milo stopped hissing altogether and showed his true personality. He was playful, curious, and surprisingly obedient.
Kaitlyn learned that cats could be a little lazy sometimes but also full of fun surprises. She realized she had completely changed her mind about cats. Milo wasn’t just cool, he was family.
Now, Milo lives happily with Kaitlyn and her little chihuahua, Nugget. Milo watches Nugget closely and even tries to imitate her good behavior. Kaitlyn loves seeing the two animals get along and learn from each other.
She’s amazed at how well Milo listens. When she calls, he comes right away.
From a scared kitten in the street to a playful, energetic companion, Milo has found his forever home. And Kaitlyn? She’s found a new kind of love she never expected.
Sometimes, the best friends come when you least expect them. Opening your heart can lead to the most rewarding journeys. For Kaitlyn and Milo, this is just the beginning of a wonderful life together.
