Cat lovers, this one will have you right in the feels.

When Betsaida Mercado entered the subway in New York City on Thursday, 24 July, she didn't realise that she would become a cat mom. 

A TikTok video of the moment reached over three million views in less than 24 hours. It shows a kitten crossing the gap between the platform and the train with determination like "she was headed to work".

After the kitten ran around the subway car, Mercado ended up picking it up, and never let go.

"I think God put me on that train. He put me on that schedule so I would be the one, she seemed like she was really lost. She found her mommy," Mercado told reporters.

"My first thought was making sure she's okay. My second thought was: I'm going to be a cat mom," Mercado added.

Mercado has named her rescue, Emmie... and they'll be besties forever. 

What a sweet story, says Friedman.
