Blue-collar workers often come across as rugged and no-nonsense, but there’s so much more to them than meets the eye. They can also be incredibly caring, as shown in a touching story shared by Ethan, a blue-collar worker himself. Ethan took to social media to recount a heartwarming encounter he and his coworkers had with a small, mud-covered kitten.

This tiny, defenseless kitten needed help, and Ethan and his team didn’t think twice about offering a hand. They paused their work to figure out the best way to assist this little creature. One worker took it upon themselves to gently clean the kitten. It was a challenging task, as the kitten’s fur was caked with mud, but they remained steadfast.

Initially, the kitten seemed a bit too quiet, which was worrying. But soon enough, it started making the sweetest little sounds. This adorable reaction seemed to happen when one of the workers cleared mud away from its eyes, giving it a chance to see again.

Target decided to keep selling eggs and pork that come from caged chickens and crated pigs indefinitely despite the pledge made nearly a decade ago to stop using cruel cages and gestation crates. Sign now to urge Target’s CEO to stop supporting animal cruelty.

Ethan summed it up perfectly in the caption of his video, saying, “We are all ‘big tough blue collar guys’… Until a baby needs help.”

The story resonated with many people online. One comment read, “Omg that baby looks so much better it makes me wanna cry. I hope he never feels fear like that again.”

After rescuing the kitten, the team took it to a local vet. But the story only gets better! Ethan shared that his friend Jacob ended up finding the kitten a loving home. What could have been a heartbreaking story turned into a happy ending for everyone involved.
