Kris Kempf had one major weakness when he initially met Alexis Lin; he wasn’t a cat person.
He didn’t seem to despise cats, according to Lin, but rather didn’t care for or favor them as much as he did dogs.
As time went on, though, that started to change. Lin had two cats when she met Kempf, and slowly but surely, they helped him open up his heart to all felines. Now, he absolutely loves cats, and even helps rescue them.
Recently, Kempf was out for a run with the couple’s son, and while they were gone, Lin received a remarkable text.
“He said they ran [past] a bush, and suddenly this little thing came running out behind them, onto the street, and was screaming at them,” Lin said. “He slowly approached the kitten, it didn’t run away, kept meowing and walked towards them.”
The man who wasn’t a cat person was now texting his wife about a tiny abandoned kitten, and she knew exactly how to respond.
Lin said, “I knew we had to at least try to help it. So I instructed Kris to bring it home, and then we would go get some materials to help it recover.
Kempf did as he was told and took the little kitten home, and together the couple worked to get him cleaned up and settled in.
He seems very content and grateful now that he’s safe and is fitting in well with the family. Since the couple already has several pets, a son and a baby on the way, they’re not sure if they can keep him, but either way, they’ll make sure he finds the best forever home.
In the past, Kempf may not have texted his wife about the kitten with such excitement, and it just goes to show that he’s now a true cat guy.
