While on his way to work in Houston, Texas, an Imgur user by the name of “wollstone” happened upon an unexpected discovery. You see, as he made his way to the front doors of his factory, he saw an odd looking box that didn’t belong there. He happened to look inside and was surprised by what he saw…

As the man peered into the box he saw a tiny kitten inside, left alone on the streets to fend for herself. Inside of the box was a half-eaten cheeseburger that the kitten was having a hard time nibbling on. He noticed that she was so little that she probably couldn’t even eat the solid food yet…
17. Introductions

Wollstone had no idea where the kitten had come from and then, all of a sudden, she stopped picking at her burger and looked up at him. The kitten came out of the box and began to introduce herself to the man, rubbing herself against his legs.
The man never expected such a reaction…

Looking up at the man with her beautiful yellow eyes, the kitten continued rubbing her face against his legs nonstop – she absolutely refused to let the man leave her. Could it be love at first sight?
Wollstone was also smitten as he began to fall in love with the adorable kitten and her fascination with him.
He knew he couldn’t just go into work that day.

Wollstone couldn’t turn his back on the tiny kitten now, especially after such an engagement between the two. It was at that point that he decided to take the day off from work and figure out a plan to help out the kitten that so quickly put her trust in him. “She decided to adopt me so I took the afternoon off and brought her home,” he said.
However, Wollstone still had to figure out what his next course of action would be.
14. Check-Up

Wollstone decided that his next best move would be to take the kitten to a vet’s office. There she tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia. The vets assured Wollstone that despite the fact that the kitten was underweight and malnourished she was completely healthy.
So, what did Wollstone decide to do with this healthy kitten?
13. Ten Weeks Old

The vets then confirmed to Wollstone that the kitten was ten weeks old and although she was old enough to be away from her mother, she was still in need of extra care in order to overcome such a traumatic beginning. Wollstone took all of this information into consideration as he thought about what he should do.
12. No Chip

Finally, it was confirmed by the veterinarian that the kitten was not chipped. This meant that locating any potential owners would be pretty much impossible. Wollstone had finally heard and enough and knew what had to be done about this little kitten that fell in love with him instantly!
