Tiny Orange Kitten Rescued From Dirty Canal in the Philippines

This tiny adorable orange kitty was saved from a deep dirty canal in the Philippines. Her animal advocate rescuer, @mlvnrbdv, took off his shoes and climbed down the dirty canal to try to save the kitten. She was so scared and had likely never been around a human before. The kitten scratched up her rescuer a bit, but he did not give up. He washed her off, gave her food, and brought her home to get her strength back up.

“You can’t change a cat’s past, but you could rewrite his future,” @mlvnrbdv beautifully captioned the rescue video.

In an update video, the orange kitty seems to be doing much better. She is clean and is even playing around with a dog. She’s doing a lot of sleeping, eating, and playing as her health improves and she regains her strength.

In another update, it’s clear that the kitten has warmed up to her rescuer. With scratches from her still on his arm, the kitten plays with it and licks his arm, almost as a way of saying sorry for scratching him.

We are so grateful that he took the time out of his day to save the kitten, and now because of him, she gets to live a long and happy life full of love.

According to national estimates, approximately 6.3 million companion animals are abandoned and enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. In the U.S. alone, over 5.4 million cats are killed on the side of the road. If you happen to notice a cat on the side of the road, whether or not the animal is injured, safely put on the hazard lights and pull your car completely off the road before attempting to rescue them, says the Humane Society.
