Sweet young lady, thank you for saving this baby. He would have never made it otherwise.❤❤❤
It's Marc. I guess you are misgendering...
It's complicated nowadays.
@@neva.2764I'll correct this: "Young, thank you for...."
@@neva.2764your comment makes no sense. A female human rescued a male kitten. Where’s the complication??
@@OwnedByACatNamedC.C. It's a male human that rescued the male kitten.
@@neva.2764 The Dodo should really correct the title of the video
You deserve him! There are no coincidences. How many drove past not even seeing him or not caring. But you did! Thank you for the rescue and share. He’s right where he belongs! 🐾♥️🐾
When you foster a cat, it's not really up to you IF you foster fail. Except and embrace your cat MOJO. ❣
Um…put down the camera before someone dies.
To be fair if I’m driving I’m not exactly looking for a kitten
What happened to his tail ?!?!?
Must have been scared witless on that highway. Then be taken into someones arms and warmed.
That this woman traversed that crazy highway to rescue a little baby kitten ( how did she even notice him?!), says so much about her as a human! 💖And yes she was scared, but her strength and heart won out! 💖🐾🐾🐱And what a beauty he is!! God bless her and her little family!
And also....the moment you risked your life for his, he was gonna be yours lol. 😊💖🐾🐾
Oh ya...he is Mr.HANDSOME,fur sure.
I’m so sick of people dumping pets!! Look at that precious face!!
Look at him!!❤
Puddin,I agree with your comment.
Do you feel the same way about people that kill and eat Animals ?
And with a cat that young, it was probably a whole litter, that was abandoned there.
@@raraavis7782it could have been a litter of one - or only one survivor. We rescue cats. Many are pregnant and small litters aren't uncommon. One of my most recent litters was a litter of two that only one kitten survived. The second kitten was weak and passed within the first few days.
Does people don't deserve mercy because they leave pets without a second chance.
toycars, what about people that pay some one to abuse and kill animals on their behalf so they can eat them ?
I'm from Houston. 45 IS NOT to be played with. Thank goodness she was able to save this little sweetie. The way her other cats istinctively took to him was the sign he was "home". I'm not a cat person, but seeing these babies safe, playing, and finding their forever family is worthy of a thug tear lol. 🥲🥰
"thug tear" I hope you don't mind but I'm stealing that. :) I've spent some time in Houston and you are right: I-45 is terrifying at the best of times. To do what this young lady did is extraordinary.
You're NO thug. 🐻
Exactly what I thought! I'm from Houston too and I-45 is no joke! People cry driving there! Lol.
I'm from the U.K someone fill me in? What's 45 Houston
@@user-vu8pm4dw6d one of the busiest, most congested, & accident prone interstate highways in Houston, Texas.
A real hero !
Yes
Catwoman 💖🥰
I agree!! A real Hero
Really? You don't think maybe she should have focused on having both hands free to stop the kitten from running into traffic, rather than holding her phone to film it?
Yeah, the kitten is fine, but what if she needed two hands for the rescue?
I don't know what she needed to prove by filming it, at the potential cost of the kitten getting ran over.
Narcissist much?
Not a hero. Nope. Not when you've gotta film her heroism, rather than focusing on the actual rescue with the full mobility of your body, you're focused on filming it?
Nope. You're crazy.
She could have died or cause an accident where ofher people died.
He's so cute. You said 'can I have a third cat?' and he was like 'you'll adopt me whether you like it or not lady.'
Some heroes don't wear capes. What a wonderful and dramatic and brave rescue!
Actually, no hero wears a cape. 🤠
altough saving animals is a good thing, running across a busy highway and endagering the lives of 100s of humans to save a random kitten is truly wreckless and should not be applauded. it is not a sign of courage rather narcisism. this person stopped, took her phone out and ran after a cat to simply get youtube likes and feed her ego. truly gross and wreckless. it would of been more efficient and faster to not film and use both her hands to save the cat. this person cared more about how she will be perceived online "LOOK AT ME IM DOING A GOOD THING" than the life of 100s of humans and 1 kitten. gross, arrogant, narcissistic, pathetic
Being a real hero isn't about strength, fearlessness or aggressivity, it's just about being compassionate in action.
@@chucku00 Well said.
Amen.
Well, you can be strong and fearless and compassionate, in action, to be a real hero, too. It's all about compassion, I'd say.
@@jericoba I agree, however many people consider strength and fearlessness (I have nothing agains having these features but they can be used as well for good and/or evil goals) as necesary to qualify as "hero" (thinking mainly about the "war hero" stereotype) but the real quality to be a hero in the first place is compassion.
I hope this rephrasing will show you we're on the same wavelength.
Sorry for not being clear enough in my initial comment, but English isn't my native language and due to the fact I'm French, therefore sharing a lot of vocabulary with English, I tend to elaborate my writings in the same way (grammar and syntax) I'm doing it in French.
You are an amazing human being!! Thank you for saving him!!
This isn't them they got sended this video
If you ever need to grab a kitten under duress, just go for the scruff. They’re made by nature to stop fidgeting when mum grabs them there, so that’s your smartest choice in a pinch. Don’t expect the kitten to necessarily love you for it right away, though 😅
Thank you so much for saving this beautiful baby , you’re a true hero ! & I’m so glad you’re his mum , of course he was going to be a foster fail , how could you resist that face ! Wishing you all a wonderful life ! ❤
When you foster a cat, it's not really up to you IF you foster fail. Except and embrace your cat MOJO. ❣
To the person that put dodger in that situation……let’s just say you’d be dodgering some blows from me if I were in the same room as you. In this case good wins over evil. We need more like this beautiful soul. Thank you Marc. Your my HERO. ❤ from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I wholeheartedly agree with you! I have a question though - who is Marc?
@@OwnedByACatNamedC.C. The title says "Woman", but Marc is transgender, and uses he/him or they/them pronouns! I am unsure why the video says Woman, since I usually guess they coordinate with the people they are posting about, but perhaps he was okay with the title so there would not be confusion?
@@man.horror thank you for clearing that up mate 👻
@@OwnedByACatNamedC.C. see what @man.horror said. 🥰❤️
@@OwnedByACatNamedC.C. love how we both have our kitties in our picture 😃
I'm glad that she rescued this kitty. And she did a great job. But I think in this moments of rescue specially in road with so much movement of cars is much more important the rescue than the shoot. Grab a scared kitten is not easy, using only one hand is even more difficult. I'm glad it didn't run away to cars directions.
People like you make our world a better place 🫶🏼
I am always so disgusted by what people do to animals! I found my 2nd cat out behind a grocery store at only 4 weeks old. He was skinny, dirty and had gunk in his eyes. Turns out he had an URI and I don't think he would a made it by himself so young.
Now he's 5 months old and a spoiled, happy boy ❤❤
Cutest foster fail! Dodger was meant to be part of your life & family. Thank you for rescuing him & giving him the pawfect furever home! 🐾❤️🐾
Your other cats putting The Love to him,specially that Black Cat showing acceptance,laying out the Big Welcome mat.Dodger just won the Lottery(Freeway Feline)
That kitten actually listened to you on the highway and didn't run further away, it was meant to be. Your other cats already love him. Beautiful ending.
Am I the only one who cried after watching this? This rescue and adoption was meant to be. Even the other cats love him! So glad you saved him and gave him his forever home. God bless you!
just after?!
You risked your life that animal. While some may debate that decision, your compassion and empathy is truly admirable. Best of luck with him. Happy for you both!
I would have done it. I rescue Brahma bulls.
I'm so glad that you found that little kitten. That must have been so scary for him all of those cars going so fast... He was all alone not understanding where he was.
And then you came along and saved him.❤🥰🥰🐾🐾🐈🐈🐈🐈
She's a hero.
Heroes don't run into danger without fear like they do in the movies. Heroes power through fear in order to help someone else.
Wonderful person. Need more like her.
Now THAT is a fuckin' hero! Holy crap. At great risk to everybody, she stepped into the abyss and came out the other side. F'ng legend. Kudos to you, and Dodger.
Cannot believe a human bring threw a helpless innocent kitten out on a concret overpass. So thankful this young lady just happened to cross his path and rescued him, thank you and God bless❤❤❤❤
I can unfortunately believe it. I can also believe that there was a lady like this one who went out in hazardous conditions to rescue the kitten. I believe there are more people like her than the idiot who did this.
@@ekramer2478 thanks for being positive, I will try too.
The offender was probably a pro”lifer” and your typical hypocrite.
The kitten could’ve crawled into an engine compartment of a parked vehicle at night then fell out after they started to drive
@@brianthebee5845 Fair enough but unfortunately less likely.
She gets the honorary badge of courage - I've done it for turtles but never on a busy freeway!
God bless this brave woman. To sprint on a busy highway to save a kitten, she is not only courageous but has a wonderful heart. May you and your cat have a life filled with love, joy, and contentment.😺😺😺
God bless you always!! What courage to risk your own safety by sprinting across the freeway. I cannot imagine hardly anyone doing this brave act. I am glad you kept this angel, who fit into your family so easily. I wonder if his short tail was a birth defect, and a cruel & evil person threw him onto the freeway. No other explanation.
I have seen a male cat roaming the countryside near me, with no tail. He has impregnated my female cats. Rescued my neighbors cat (he was going to shoot her after she killed one of his chicks) and she ended up being pregnant with 3 bob-tailed boys (so he is the dad). So some cats come by it naturally. Getting her fixed next month.
He had a full tail at the beginning of the video.
@@nickashton3049 In a tiktok, Marc explains that Dodger's tail was completely shattered, and he was unable to move it. He decided the best thing to do was get it amputated, likely so it would not cause pain and/or become necrotic.
I have seen a tiktok video of her explaining that his tail was shattered and she let it get amputate in order to help him feel better.
You risked your life to save Dodger. I knew from the beginning that you were going to keep him. 💕Thank you for rescuing him and giving him a loving home.💕
I know that highway very well. It is so cruel what people will do. What a wonderful AND gutsy thing she did to save the kitten. THANK YOU!
My hero 😭imagine not only spotting a tiny kitten on the highway but having the guts to stop and save him
Thank you for rescuing the little boy and realizing you guys were meant to be!❤🌈🐈
I saw this on another video. Sweety I had to laugh when you picked up the little kitty. You grabbed that kitty 🐈⬛ like a pro. You weren’t about to let kitty go! 😂 I specifically came here to tell you thank you so much! The kitty is in love with you now!!! God bless you and I thank you again for your hero rescue! 🌹 🌹 🐈⬛!!!
I rescued a tiny gray kitten from a busy intersection here in Houston a few years ago. Hopped out of our vehicle and ran and scooped him up, my husband didn’t even know what was happening! We couldn’t keep him because my husband’s allergies are maxed out with the two we have, but the kitty was adopted the same day! The intersection was dangerous enough, it’s incredibly dangerous to run across a busy freeway.
It's great you saved the kitten, however watching people try to rescue animals with one hand because they're filming with the other is infuriating. That kitten nearly dashed into the middle of the road because you were preoccupied with filming this rescue rather than the rescue itself.
Exactly
Not only that but didn't anyone but me notice that in the beginning of the video, the kitty has a long tail and then in the rest of the video he has a Bobtail? 🤔
It’s a generation obsessed with documenting their every move to get likes because they’re deeply insecure.
I know, right? GoPro. GoPro cams are needed.
Can any of you be happy for once
First of all praise the Lord you weren’t killed in traffic ! 🙏 That was the true meaning of RESCUE, a real life saving rescue of the doomed kitten! I’m glad you were born !!!
Your story has made my day. Thank God it was you who saw him and risked your life to rescue him. Have many happy years ahead with him.
I'm so happy you did this he knows someone really loves him ❤🇨🇦
Well done to the rescuer. The cat was definitely, initially terrified for its life, but after that, it was all uphill from there.
It's also great to see how the other two cats this lady has, took the other cat in and accepted him. Wonderful, he had already gone through enough stress.
@@_UsernameUnavailable_ Downhill is literally defined as “toward a worsened or inferior state or level”
As vehicles zoom past, kitten thinks: "Yeah, I know you got ME, lady, but who's got YOU?!!"
Lol
Dios bendiga a esta joven maravillosa, lo que hizo por rescatar a este angelito es grandioso. Se necesitan mas personas como ella en este mundo👏👏👏
thank you so much❤
He didn't get on the highway by himself. Some a$$hole dropped him off. How cruel can someone be? Thank you and bless you for saving him risking your own life to do so. You are an angel - truly.
Bravo young lady for saving this little precious soul. Only goodhearted people know how to make the right decisions in life.
Thank you for saving. She scared and wouldnt have survived. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Need more people like her. That kitten doesn't want to be bothered but is in danger.
You are a hero, thank the lord for people like you.
Amen!
He calmed down so quickly. Poor kitten must've been so frightened on that highway!
All I could do is smile
Beautiful! I love that she kept him! ❤❤❤❤ in a world that is hard to live in.... there are happy ever afters.
I would literally doing the same thing if I witnessing a kitten on a busy highway.
Such a cool family to have 3 pets in the house.
Thanks to the beautiful lady for rescuing the kitten and give em furever home👍🏻
Aweee so glad you got to him before he got hit
Thank God you saved this precious little angel!❤😻
Oh my goodness Dodger is absolutely ADORABLE!!!! He was theoretically in the wrong place being on the highway but in reality he was in the reaction right place at the exact right time 😊❤
Your guardian angel was looking over you and the little one. You brought tears to my eyes at your brave and selfless act. Many blessings to you!
God bless ❤❤❤thank you so much ❤❤❤
God bless you
Thats such a sweet story 😢
Oh my god can you even imagine how terrified that poor baby must have been!
Love this woman!
Hero!
Very cute story. I'm thankful for people like this girl who do what they have to do to save an animal. Dodger is a great name for him, too. I wonder what happened to his tail?
I wonder about his poor tail, too. Hopefully it had to be partially removed for medical reasons after his rescue; like a cat of mine whose tail got infected near the tip.
The tail was broken and wouldn't heal properly. The vets advised amputation. I'm lucky enough to know this amazing human being😊
You're a hero for saving the sweet little fur baby's life, and giving him a loving forever home.
I'm so happy he foster failed Dodger, he risked his life to save this kitten. He is truly exceptional and amazing.
Respect to the woman who rescued and adopted him 😻🐈🐈⬛
So grateful she grabbed the kitten, but all I could think is ‘Put the phone down and grab the cat before he darts into the highway!’
Super cute cat! Loaded with personality.
Saw that foster fail coming from a mile away! Anybody that heroically rescues a terrified gorgeous lil spicy bundle like that could never give him up! You were meant to be. ❤
Wow. I’m so glad
Blessing on this wonderful lady for saving this dear terrified kitten.🙏🥰❤🧡💜💙
😱 wow so glad you both didn't get squashed on that busy road., bless you for saving him and giving him a great forever home with fur siblings. Cracking good video thanks for sharing 💖😁
You ROCK for dodging traffic to save this little guy ! And the bond formed is out of love ❤😊
Thank you for saving this little kitten who knows what would have happened if not for this kind hearted young lady. Thank goodness we will never have to find out
Glad you weren't hit!
Glad he didnt run out into traffic while his rescuer struggled to handle him and the phone at the same time.
Taking risk to assist another in mortal danger: a human functioning at highest potential.
This lady deserves all the great things in life.
Thanks ❤
You’re a hero! The people who left him there are scum. It’s soon time for a new cat here as well 🐱😻
This women is amazing for what she did
She's a hero saving that kitty 👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving him, keeping him & loving him. 😺❤️🙂❤️
Yes! I was praying he would be a FOSTER FAILURE!😆 He’s SO beautiful! And that tail, perfect! Many, many thanks for literally risking your life AND SAVING HIS! Bless you! Much affection from the city of Detroit!
The tail perfect, you mean it was earlier or as it is cutted off?
You are such a kind hearted sweetheart❤ thank you is such small word for all your efforts. Thank you for saving him and giving him a forever home. ❤
Thank you young lady, for everything!!!!
You have such courage to stop on the highway and save this kitty!
You are amazing❤
THANK YOU FOR BEING A RESCUE-Angel AND GRABBING THAT SWEET BABY.
ITS A MIRACLE THAT YOU GOT IN TIME.
YOU MADE MY DAY!!
Am so glad that you stayed with him. By watching the video..i knew ULL stay with him. Thanks for being kind to the animals. God bless you
Why can’t the world be full of beautiful people like this women?Be kind to these animals and spread ❤
Love these cat rescue stories i wouldn't want Doger to leave if that was me. Beautiful 😢
❤❤❤ What a cute little kitten! 😍🐱
That young woman deserves blessings from above!
BRAVO! Thank God for Hero's big and small. This Lady rocks.
Famous last words, "I am not going to foster fall."
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! What a rescue! Road rescues are a challenge, and you were awesome.
TY for risking your life for tiny Dodger. So glad you're BOTH safe 💞💕💗
Wishing the best for you and your three kitties 💖💖💖💖 Always
I always wonder when I see these rescues ... how many other people saw this tiny life in danger, and just kept going 😿
As soon as you heard his little meow, it was obvious that he was going to be a foster fail. How could anyone give up this precious little angel?
what a courageous young woman...God bless...
I would like to make a few notes here for anyone who may see this.
EDIT: Title has been changed, which is nice to see! Good stuff. Point below was made prior to title change VVV
Firstly, Marc, the rescuer of Dodger is not a woman. He is in fact a man, and goes by he/him or they/them pronouns. I am unsure why the video says "woman", because I assumed The Dodo communicates with the people they post videos of, and would know to either put "Man", "Person", "Samaritan", etc. Perhaps Marc actually was okay with them using "woman" so there would be less confusion, but I am unsure. Some people are confused about who "Marc" is though, so I thought it would be good to clarify here that he is the rescuer.
Secondly, others are confused about the tail being shorter later in the video. Marc explained in a TikTok that Dodger's tail was completely shattered and the best option was to have it be amputated, so yes, later in the video he has a shorter tail because of medical reasons. In the TikTok it even shows young Dodger with a shaved rump after his surgery. I am unsure why Dodo left this out, but my best guess is that it is because they want to pump out very short content these days.
Thirdly, and lastly, the people upset with Marc recording the beginning have already been heard by Marc, and he will not address it further. He says in another TikTok that he does not know why he decided to record it, but he agrees that he shouldn't have. The experience was stressful, and his memory of it is very unclear, and likely he would have been unable to accurately recall it if he had not recorded it (This is my own assumption) which is a typical trauma/post-stress response. The berating however, is quite unneeded, as he already knows, and agrees with this sentiment. This whole event was a fast, impulsive one, and while dangerous, it is good that it went smoothly. He already knows that it was quite careless, so there is no need to repeat it, as I am sure if it were to happen again, he would take more pre-cautions.
I hope that clears some things up.
Thank you for clarifying! Not all of use tiktok. Maybe these things could be added somehow to the description, or something.
@@kaisa46 Of course! I don't either honestly, but I went to look at their profile which is linked luckily, and did a quick scroll through their videos to get more information myself. I agree that these things should be in the description.
Thank you for being a good human!! He wouldn't have lasted much longer in that situation. And WOW, you got something special...a lil baby Bobtail kitten In perfect condition! And that beautiful Bengal coat. Maybe he is one. Anyway, he's gorgeous and seems sweet, your Tuxedo cat is very accepting, the grooming is welcoming. Great name- Dodger, I get it.
Bless you dear. We must all help each other in this world. 😘🐱
Oh, he’s home. You were always Momma. 🌿❤🌿
thank you for not overlooking this precious kitty left out there by someone who decided to pick the worst of places to abandon him & not dismissing it as just an animal not worth risking your life to save, you're restoring hope & faith for your generation-
