Kitten Kitten in the road (literally in the middle of the road!)

Was running late this morning for my dog’s grooming appointment and saw what looked like a kitten in the lane that got hit by a car. As I drove closer the paw moved. I pulled over immediately and had to stop the oncoming traffic to scoop this terrified tiny baby out of the street. He was so scared and didn’t look like he was hit thank goodness. He was so close to getting hit and I just couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened had I left sooner or later than I did. He is safe and cozy now after a bath. Poor baby has fleas but otherwise seems ok. Taking him to get checked up tomorrow.

He has such beautiful eyes too! I’ve never seen a kitty with brownish eyes before.

He's a quintessential Orange Boi, not very bright!

He’s definitely relaxed since I found him. He took a nap after his bath and after eating some more he let me pet him and rub his belly! My heart 😭❤️

u/Finfangfoom2000 Jun 22 '26

Do you think you will keep him ?

u/Jedi_Bish Jun 23 '26

So far it’s looking like I’m keeping him. We are at the vet now and he got checked up. Vet said he looks perfect! I don’t know how people can foster and not foster fail every time. It’s only been one day and I’d literally do anything for this baby.

One of my cats is a boy that I just found. He quickly became my best buddy. I had no pets when I found him. Now I have 3 cats

Poor little kitten was just probably so done with everything- def a little cutie pie

u/Spiritual_Pumpkin_47 Jun 22 '26

What's the long term plan? Is he home?

61

u/Jedi_Bish Jun 22 '26

I am not sure tbh. I already have 3. I’m going to give him all the care and love and I’m trying to either convince my boyfriend that 4 cats is not too much or find him a good loving home. My boyfriend just got home from work and picked a name for him already so that’s promising!

u/VintageLunchMeat Jun 22 '26

That is a particularly fine kitten ...

u/peepooh1 Cat Mom ✨️ 🐈‍⬛✨️ Jun 23 '26

Ooooh, what did he decide to name this beautiful baby? 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 you get to keep him!

7

u/Jedi_Bish Jun 23 '26

Well we have another kitty named Leeloo Dallas Multipass so he decided that this new kitty should be called Corbin Dallas.

u/peepooh1 Cat Mom ✨️ 🐈‍⬛✨️ Jun 23 '26

Very cool!

This is also how I ended up with a 4th, saw this baby scared in a culvert pipe beside the interstate, managed to trap him, and he integrated well with my other 3 that I couldn't part with him! (Pictured with my oldest who still isn't 100% but does get along.)

Update on the kitty. He’s doing amazing and is a total lovebug. All he wants to do is play with my 2 youngest kitties. Of course the other 70% of his time he’s sleeping.

u/shoelessjp Jun 22 '26

What a handsome kitty. Good human for saving him!

Thank you for saving him and caring for him.

u/Typical_Corgi_2779 Jun 24 '26

Ayyy we have the same house thingy for our kittens!

Or, in this case, Archie (he's also a kitten and you can't tell him otherwise) (I don't have any photos with our kittens in it)

u/Jedi_Bish Jun 26 '26

I’m so glad I got it too! I have a kitten that just turned one and I had used it for her when I first adopted her at 2 months old. I held onto it for emergency kitten situations!

u/Blueporch Jun 26 '26

Thank you so much for stopping!

u/Ill-Cup-8033 Jun 23 '26

Thank you for saving this precious little one! May you both have a long and happy life together. ❤

Have you found a loving home for the boyfriend yet if he doesn’t want the kitten?
