Picture this: You roll out of bed, start your day like any other, jump in your car, and head to your go-to Starbucks drive-thru for your daily dose of caffeine, and instead of getting just coffee you also drive away with a new kitten.
That’s exactly what happened to Ryan, the hero of today’s story, and his partner Kate.
Ryan and Kate were driving for a long time and wanted coffee. When they were waiting in line at Starbucks, they noticed a lady hurrying with a small kitten in her arms. Ryan was curious about the kitten, so he asked the lady about it.
The lady was in a rush and said she found the kitten but couldn’t keep it because she didn’t know how to take care of it.
Ryan and Kate really love animals. So, Ryan quickly offered to take the kitten from the lady, which helped both the lady and the kitten.
Even though Ryan hadn’t taken care of such a small kitten before, he was very gentle with it. He and Kate already had two cats at home, so they knew how to take care of cats. Ryan really liked the little kitten and said, “I was totally in love. I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I already loved this tiny thing.”
After they finished their road trip, they brought the kitten to their home and introduced her to her new family.
For Ryan, bringing that kitten into his life, which he named Clover, felt like the best decision. He explained, “We thought having a lucky four-leaf clover charm with us all the time would be a perfect name for her. She feels like the missing piece we’ve been looking for.”
When they shared their special story on TikTok, it touched a lot of people’s hearts. Many praised Ryan for his kindness. One person mentioned how kind Ryan is, which Kate completely agreed with, saying, “He truly has a gentle heart – and I think animals can sense when someone is kind.”
Their story made many people emotional. Some were moved to see a grown man showing so much love for a kitten, and some even shed tears because of it.
Had Ryan and Kate not decided to grab coffee at Starbucks that day, they would have never met Clover, their little stroke of luck. Truly, Clover has lived up to her lucky namesake!
