Nowadays, it’s not surprising to see abandoned cats and kittens fending for themselves. However, it’s truly heartwarming when someone lends them a helping hand.

That’s exactly what this kind-hearted woman did upon seeing a dirty stray kitten wandering around an apartment complex with no one else besides him.

Seeing the poor kitten in such a bad condition, this woman knew she had to help him. She tried to catch him by giving him some chicken, but unsuccessfully.

However, giving up wasn’t an option. She was determined to save the kitten at all costs. Finally, her rescue mission succeeded thanks to the helping hand of her neighbor.

Once she caught the kitten, she wrapped him in a soft towel and proceeded to give him much-needed care.

Initially, the poor kitten was terrified, but after realizing he was in good hands, he felt much better and calmer. She recalled:

“We got the fleas and dirt washed off him, got some antibiotics for a slight cold, but he was otherwise fine, kneading and purring up a storm, eating a lot and being heart-crushingly adorable.”

After just one day, this tiny dirty kitten transformed into a gorgeous, lovely feline. His rescuer named him Nux and gave him the life he had always deserved.

Today, Nux has grown into a happy and healthy feline, who enjoys the company of his beloved human every day, and shows her gratitude for saving his life.
