Biker Saves Injured Kitten and Continues His Trip While Caring for Him

Source: Lovemeow

A motorcyclist found a tiny injured kitten that needed a lot of help at a truck stop, he decided to help the little guy, tuck him in his vest and continue on his cross country trip while taking care of the kitten.

Pat has been riding cross-country (from Nevada to New Jersey) with a little kitty snuggled up to him since he rescued him. His furry sidekick has quite an unbelievable story.

While he was in Nevada at a truck stop getting gas, he found the kitten who was crying for help. “He was pretty badly burned, so I picked him up and tucked him inside my vest. We’re feeding him regularly now, so he’s doing better, even though he’s sort of living on the road until we get home,” he told Revzilla.

“His burns are pretty much all healed up except for the little spot on his lip… We’ve been keeping it clean and using neosporin. It looks a lot better and doesn’t seem to be bothering him.

Thank you Mr. Biker and thank you Little Tich for the post. That kitten is so cute and the motorcycle dude is a hero. Friends forever. That kitten will not let his rescuer out of his sight!

Some are rowdy. Some have been involved in acts of violence or criminal activities. But mostly they're just like anyone.

Here's a video of bikers participating in a human shield to prevent the Westboro Baptist Church from disrupting a candlelight vigil for fallen firefighters. They also offered to do the same at Maya Angelou's funeral. (http://www.christianpost.com/news/biker-gang-offers-protective-wall-against-westboro-baptist-at-maya-angelous-funeral-120866/)

not the current "wear all HD clothing, ride 50 miles a weekend" bunch, but real hard core guys. The ones that have had pets had cats. I think the independent nature of cats, and the fact that they aren't butt kissers like dogs, appeals to them. They were also the type that were always there for their friends.
