Unexpected Rush Hour Passenger

A kitten boarded the New York City subway with the confidence of someone late for work. She trotted onto the two train in Harlem during the busiest time of day. People watching said she looked like she had an important meeting to get to.

But this wasn't a normal trip to work. The small cat was actually very scared and crying loudly. Her meows were so heartbreaking that one woman felt deeply worried the whole ride.

Saida Steps In

That worried woman was Saida. When another passenger finally caught the kitten, Saida knew she had to help. Even though she was on her way to work, she got off at the next stop. She called her boyfriend right away, and together they sprang into action for the little cat they named Emmy.

The person who filmed Emmy on the subway did something kind too. Despite having cat allergies, she went back to the platform to check if any other kittens were left behind. Thankfully, Emmy was alone in her subway adventure.

From Subway to Safety

Saida and her boyfriend took Emmy straight to the vet. They learned she didn't have a microchip that could help find her owners. The vet made sure Emmy was healthy and even gave her a special award to celebrate how brave she had been.

A New Life of Luxury

Emmy has now officially retired from the working world. She no longer needs to ride the subway or worry about earning money. Instead, she's enjoying a pampered life with Saida and her new puppy brother.

It seems the subway took Emmy exactly where she needed to be all along - to a loving forever home.

Sometimes the most unexpected journeys lead to the best destinations. For Emmy, a scary subway ride turned into the luckiest day of her life when she found people who would care for her forever.
