Gillian still recalls the beautiful moment perfectly.

“He was bottle-feeding her,” she said to The Dodo. “You could see the caring. My heart felt like it was going to explode to see someone with that much caring. He was so in the moment.”

Gillian was so intrigued about the whole thing, and she decided to approach the man to hear this undoubtedly special story.

The first thing she asked is where he got this adorable kitten, and that’s when the story became even more beautiful.

“We had a chat,” she added. “He told me he’d found the kitten alone between two buildings.”

This was a stray kitten that was completely helpless and alone, so this man decided to take care of her and make sure that she was comfortable, well-fed, and safe.

“The kitten was looking up at him as he fed her,” Gillian told. “It was so heartwarming. I told him, ‘Thank you.'”

Unfortunately, Gillian was close to home and her subway stop arrived.

She didn’t have the chance to ask the kind stranger for his name, but he has definitely made a lasting impression on her nonetheless. Seeing such a kind gesture and caring person can definitely brighten up your day and restore your faith in humanity.

Seeing this whole thing unfold was even more special to Gillian, as she works with animals every single day.
