A man turns a busy overpass into a shoulder buddy after saving a cat the size of a Clementine.

Imagine yourself humming along to your favorite song as you drive home one night and you notice something: an orange flash in the middle of the busy overpass’s traffic. You mute the music out of curiosity and plug your ears. Is that cat meowing?

As you stop, you notice a small, fluffy orange kitten on the edge of the overpass, pleading for assistance. How would you respond? We all know what an animal lover would do—they would quickly come to the little furball’s aid!

And that’s just what this generous individual accomplished. This smol clementine of a kitten got into a risky situation, but a kind onlooker helped him get out of there and onto safety.

But this one isn’t just any rescue tale—rather, it’s a tale of instant kinship and camaraderie!

It began like any other night when our hero discovered his kitty, whom he called Keno later on. But he saw a tiny orange dot on the side of the road as he got closer to the overpass.

The sound of the panicked meows rose above the din of passing cars as he approached. He pulled over without thinking, and carefully took up the scared little kitten. He posted this on Reddit:

“Everyone meet Keno, I saved this little guy from a very busy overpass the other night, and he’s taken refuge on my shoulder and won’t go.”

They clicked as soon as he picked Keno up.

Furthermore, this was a shoulder kitten, not just any other kitten. Keno clambered up onto his rescuer’s shoulder as soon as he was secure and wouldn’t move. He seemed to know that he had discovered his true love.

Take a look at them! Best friends for life:

Though Keno took some time to get used to his new surroundings, it was obvious that he would not be leaving his rescuer’s shoulder. Keno was right there, relaxed as a tiny parrot on his new human’s shoulder, wherever that person went.

Keno demonstrated that he had discovered his favorite place in the world, whether he was doing tasks around the house or just relaxing on the couch.

The Reddit crowd was enamored with this unusual pair, leaving comments that complimented the man and praised the humorous, small shoulder ginger for “cuteness overload.”

The internet melted together as Keno’s tale and photos became viral. People affected by the story of this tiny survivor and his dedicated savior left comments all over the internet. Someone made the following observation:

“Reading something like this and knowing that there are good people like you around the world is really comforting.”

While other others mentioned Keno’s distinctive seating arrangement, stating:

“Well done on your fresh growth in your shoulder. looks fantastic on you!

It appears like Keno took him in and there’s no going back!

Keno’s story serves as a reminder of the relationships that can develop when people show compassion to creatures in need. This little kitty has discovered the world’s most ideal location—right atop his rescuer’s shoulder.

Regarding his hooman, he has found a faithful friend who will always be by his side.
