People who lend a hand to animals in need are what we like to call heroes. Animals rely on us for food, water, and shelter and in return, they give us a lifetime unconditional love. Not to mention lots of laughs. So we just couldn’t help but fall in love with this story of a tiny abandoned kitten who cleverly begged a couple to take her home.

A lost kitten was walking around a dirt road all alone, her mother nowhere to be found. The kitten spotted a couple walking toward her and knew exactly what to do: beg them to take her home!

As Imgur user abbiabbiabbiabbi explained, they thought the little one would try to run away when they got close. But the kitten must have known they were safe because she let them pick her up!

They got the kitten home and gave her a warm bath and some much-needed food. Sometimes you adopt a cat … or sometimes they adopt you!

She has a lip and gum injury that looks like road rash but she will recover just fine. The couple named her Tiger Lily and say that she is going to be safe and happy from now on!

Not only is this story adorable, it also is a reminder of how we can help end the pet homelessness problem. 2.7 million dogs and cats are euthanized every day due to shelter overcrowding and limited funds, but we can all help stop this. Saving one animal may not solve the pet homelessness problem for good, but for that one animal, their life is changed forever. If you’re thinking of adding a loyal best friend to your family, please remember to always adopt and never shop.
