The cats versus dogs debate is a tale as old as time. Almost everyone feels compelled to pick a side at one point or another, but true animal advocates know that you don’t really have to choose. Some cats and dogs can even get along!
Fortunately for self-proclaimed dog person @kaitlyncruns, she, her husband, and her dogs are all easily swayed by an adorable feline face. When her morning run was interrupted by the cutest surprise on June 28, she didn’t hesitate to stop and help.
Even then, no one could have guessed what would come next for Kaitlyn and the rescued kitty!
@kaitlyncruns Didn’t even get to finish the run…. and now we have a cat? Two solid dog people and now here’s Sam
Talk about being in the right place at the right time! This tiny tabby kitten found Kaitlyn from the middle of a road, and they had no hesitations with trusting their rescuer right off the bat.
Unsurprisingly, that sweetness won over the runner and her husband almost instantly! Did you see the look on Kaitlyn’s husband’s face when he saw the little kitty? I think he was shaking his head in disbelief because he knew exactly what was coming next!
As one commenter wrote, Kaitlyn known went “from ‘are you rabid?’ to ‘he thinks I’m his Mom,’ in record time.” It sounds like love at first sight to me! Luckily, everyone feels the same way, and it was a unanimous decision to bring the rescue kitten, a little boy named Sam, home.
Not only did this selfless runner rescue this stray kitten from the street, but she gave him a forever home, too! It doesn’t get much more wholesome than that.
@kaitlyncruns Sammy Boy says good morning world #SamTheCat #CDS #catdistributionsystem
Just look at this kitten bouncing around his new home like he owns the joint! This curious cat is settling in wonderfully with such attentive parents, but no one could have guessed just how much this cat dad would embrace his new role.
“Pretty sure your husband was always a cat person and you’re just finding out,” one commenter wrote. That sure seems to be the case! Luckily, he’ll never have to choose between his dogs and his new cat, because these ‘frenemies’ absolutely can get along!
Happy tails, Sam and Kaitlyn!
