I think the people who care enough and take the time and trouble to save the little animals. It's a hassle, and there are no accolades in the end for it. But it's the kind, human thing to do.

Kept seeing the first pic here and there and wondered why it was THE pic that kept popping up.

Only after HuffPost called it “Kitty Escapes Hurricane” did I finally notice . . . the kitten. Too cute!

These old brown eyes, they ain’t what they used to be.

Inserted into earth's 12 mile thick atmosphere every day. That adds up to more then a billion tons a week; 52 weeks= omg!
Maybe hurricaines are just normalty, but the math ...the math is frightening. All those little animals not to mention babies, depend on us. 52 billion ton/year is ....its. ...
Ignorance about cc is as evil as terrorism

Wishing them both long, safe, and happy lives together.

The story and the pictures are heartwrenching and heartwarming at the same time.

I read the absolutely disgusting post here from our POTUShithead and I wanted to throw up.
How can that piece of uncaring crap who's been looting the American people for years have the nerve
to dog whistle a man and his own cat by labeling him a "looter" and that he "should be shot".

Damn, another low for the racist resident of the White House. He should have been in the boat with them.

I hope that the man's father is ok... thank goodness for these gestures of true humanity, caring for the little ones ...
