Makes You Smile Like The Cheshire Cat

(I am a 20-year-old college student, and have noticed a small black kitten around our campus. After watching him for a while, my friend and I confirm that he is a stray. We decide to trap him and take him to a shelter to get him looked at. We have just been told that they can’t take him, but they will give us some medication to give him.)

Me: “So, these two today and the other in a week?”

Employee: “Yeah. Just be careful giving it to him.”

Me: “I will! So, how much do I owe ya?”

Employee: “Nothing.”

Me: *stunned* “R-really?”

Employee: “Yeah. It’s a good thing you’re doing. Most people wouldn’t, especially if they’re a college student.”

Me: “W-well… I couldn’t just leave him! He’s a kitten. But… thank you so much!”

Employee: “It’s no problem. Good luck!”

(We got the little kitten to a shelter the next day. He was named Midnight and got looked after and rehabilitated. As a broke college student trying to save a kitten’s life, I couldn’t thank this guy enough. He restored my faith in humanity!)
