At multiple times in the video, cars and trucks drive over the kitten – who’s luckily left unharmed by ending up between the wheels rather than under them. Some cars swerve around the kitten, but they still leave the kitten dangerously close to being hit. Our hearts were in our throats the entire time we watched the cars rush by.

Although it’s clear that the drivers notice the tiny cat on the road, nobody makes any attempt to stop and save its life. Instead, the steady stream of traffic continues completely uninterrupted while the poor, terrified kitten tries to make it to the side of the road.

But then, a car finally stops. A man steps out of the car and does what no one else has had the heart to do; leaves his car and walks over to save the kitten. The man is seen picking the scared kitten up off the road and then carries it back with him to his car. He gets back in the car, kitten still safely clutched against his chest, and drives off.
