Man ‘Attacked’ By Kittens As He Pulls Over To Save One

A man traveling nearby saw one strolling along a deserted street and pulled over. He had no idea that saving one kitten would lead to the saving of 12 others.

The little black and white kitten approached Robert Brantley with curiosity as he parked his car and went to check. Once he noticed movement in the grass beside the road, he picked up the kitten and carefully examined it. Robert was completely bewildered by twelve kittens, who rushed at him like a pack of velociraptors.

In an Instagram video, you can hear, “I can't take you all. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, there’s more! We got a kitten problem.”

The kittens nipped at Robert's ankles and meowed, “Get one, get another twelve for free.”

Robert was unsure whether to adopt all of them, especially since he and his family already have pets, yet he did not have the heart to turn them away. He, therefore, took care of 13 stray kittens.
“I was not prepared for the kittens, I was just blown away,” he said to NPR.The majority of states prohibit leaving an animal behind, according to Nolo. Yet, it would be very challenging to enforce this legislation because there are sometimes no witnesses to the crime, whether it be by abandoning it in a public place or leaving it anyplace without providing for its requirements.

Many of the kittens were already investigating the back of his car in the second video he released, while others were attempting to look at all the items upfront.  
Nevertheless, he was able to gather the kittens despite all of the obstacles, and he started off on a mission to find every one of them a nice, nurturing environment. But before that, he was going to "fatten them up."

The video immediately caught the eye of kitty lovers, reaching 924K views itself before being shared on several social media accounts. The video has been viewed and enjoyed by millions of people on Twitter and TikTok. One shared by Lauren René Allen with the description, “why don’t things like this ever happen to me,” went viral and got over 32 million views.

Not only did this generate interest with a 72K-strong TikTok following, but thousands of people have also expressed interest in adopting the kittens, and many have offered supplies and assistance. “It’s mind-blowing, to be honest with you, that so many people reach out, and there’s a lot of people in the world wanting to do good,” he said to NPR.
Curiously, Michael Scott and Nala were the first two to be adopted, and they both found a particular permanent home in Alexandria, LA. “I am happy to see them find a good home, but at the same time, I’m sad to see them go,” Robert shared on his Instagram post.

“I want people to know that no matter how much bad you see in the world, there’s still a lot of people doing good things and not doing it for recognition,” told Robert

The messages Robert wants to share are compassion and love for every living thing on the planet. “I want people to know that no matter where you’re at and how much bad you see in the world, there’s still a lot of people – not talking about me – doing good things and not doing it for recognition.”
