Guy Rescues Kitten from Busy Street – Now the Little Furball Won’t Stop Hugging Him
On a Friday morning, Chuck Hawley from Silverton, Oregon, was heading to work and noticed something on the road. When he got closer, he discovered it was a kitten trapped in the lane.
“I was on my way to work and noticed cars ahead of me swerving around something on the road. When I got closer, I saw it was a kitten, just sitting there, shaking all over,” Chuck shared.

Right from the start, Chuck felt the kitten was meant to be with them.
“We had just been discussing getting a
In just under 24 hours, the kitten’s world turned completely around. “She went from having the worst luck ever to being the luckiest kitten alive,” he remarked.
“I just did what any normal person would do; anyone should’ve stopped to help her,” Chuck stated. “She’s an incredible cuddler and purrer. Last night, she slept right between my wife and me.”
“I’m really happy I found her because we ended up with an awesome
