Lone kitten found on porch steps for over 3 hours in cold weather, heroic hooman living there takes kitten in despite having no cat experience: 'We'll be going out to get litter and cat food'

Seeing stray animals in the street can be heartbreaking. The urge to feed them, clean them, and care for them is instinctual and biological. The cat distribution system thanks any brave and selfless pre-cat owning hooman for taking in street cats and giving them a furrever home. That's exactly what happens in the story here. The narrator hears meowing under her porch step, and she's seen a mom cat come around, and knows there's a little baby kitten. It's the beginning of a brisk winter, and the little thing is crying under the porch. There's no way this hooman is able to resist the innocent cries of a kitten. She only questions taking in the kitten for two reasons: one being that she's afraid of the mom cat coming back and being afraid her baby is gone. And two, that she has never dealt with a kitten this young, and doesn't have the proper things to care for him. 

But in a heroic rescue, the hooman takes the kitten from under the porch and gives it a warm home. Despite not having materials or experience, she goes out to buy all the kitty essentials.
