Not long ago, the Internet was overjoyed with a story about four kittens that would have βΡΟΟΞ·Ξ΅β for sure if it wasnβt for the heroics of one man. A boat was capsized in open sea near the island of Koh Adang, trapping eight crew members and four kitties. The crew called for help but the boat was already sinking quickly.
Luckily, the Thai Navy managed to come just as the boat was already on its way ΤΟΙ―Ι³. The crew members were rescued quickly and without problems. Upon closer inspection looking for an oil spill, one office noticed four kittens on a crane-like structure, so he immediately took his shirt off, put on a vest, and swam in the waters to save the kittens.
He was able to do so just before the ship sank. If he didnβt arrive on time, it could have been a cat-astrophe. Pics of the courageous act were shared online and the office, Thatsaphon Saii, became a worldwide Internet hit.
Weβre grateful that he swam to save the kitties β many others wouldnβt have done it. He risked his life to save them, and that makes him more of a man than anyone else. Check out the pics yourself and see how the kitties did later β the pics will melt your heart.
