00:00Are you interested in what's going on outside?

00:13My partner Leah heard a kitten crying for help underneath a car.

00:18Come here kitty kitty.

00:22He wouldn't come out so eventually I just had to call it quits.

00:25Come here.

00:26I know cats pretty well. I'm a producer at the Dodo and I do a lot of stories on cats.

00:30Last night it was actually under a car. I saw it so that's why I was like oh my gosh it's tiny.

00:36And so I went under.

00:37It was about an hour or so of them working.

00:41They eventually rescued this little kitten.

00:45I was in kitten mode.

00:49It really dawned on me. I was like wow I'm really in one of my stories.

00:55Come here.

00:57Come here.

00:59I've never held a kitten in my life.

01:03I was just absolutely smitten.

01:06I also was kind of sensing that it was going to be very difficult for me to let go.

01:11Are you scared?

01:13I'm sorry.

01:15This kitten was filthy.

01:17It's okay kitty.

01:19So we had to give him a bath and we had no clue what we were doing.

01:26No.

01:32I've never done this.

01:34Traumatic experience.

01:36It's okay.

01:38We're just trying to clean you up a little bit.

01:41You already look so much better.

01:43We took him to the vet almost immediately.

01:45We got very lucky. He had nothing wrong with him.

01:49Our idea was just to foster him and try to see if we could find him a good home.

01:55We also have three cats and a dog ourselves.

01:58We have a toddler.

02:02At first we introduced him to our animals.

02:13Celeste had never seen anything so tiny and was just like what is this thing?

02:18Then my daughter Zoe came home and the fun really started.

02:26Zoe is obviously through the moon.

02:33Our plan was to find a place for this kitten where he could get the care that he deserved.

02:39We get to go to a cool home and I'm excited.

02:42Ready to go kitty?

02:45Celeste are you saying bye too?

02:47I can't keep him. I'm sorry.

02:49I had a friend of a friend that fosters cats and has her own rescue.

02:56I took the trip with the kitten right next to me for the whole drive.

03:00This is the new little baby that came to me.

03:03The foster took him in, helped him a ton.

03:08Eventually this kitten was adopted by his now forever home.

03:18I'm so proud of him.

03:20I'm so proud of him.

03:22I'm so proud of him.

03:24I'm so proud of him.

03:26I'm so proud of him.
