A tiny grey kitten was wandering on the road near a vacant house. "I'm a home inspector, and I drive over 100 miles a day. I don’t normally pick up hitchhikers, but I found one I couldn’t say no to," said reddit user zdaytonaroadster.

"Found him at house that was vacant, just wandering around by the road. I was sure he’d get hit by a car. I didn’t see his mom." It was really hot that day and the kitten was panting.

"(I) stopped at a local run down gas station and got him a little water." Then they were on their way to the kitten's new home.

They named him Ash. "He's got a puppy to play with. He’s already getting spoiled."

Ready for some belly rubs!

Ash's new human's father came by to meet his new grand-kitty and brought him a little kitty milk.

After a long day...
