This little guy is very, very lucky after almost being swept away by freezing-cold waters!
If you ever doubted that cats dislike water, you clearly haven't seen this dramatic rescue of a helpless kitten. The adorable feline's cries in this video will definitely tug at your heartstrings. This kitty clearly doesn't want to be anywhere near water!
Watch the exhilarating footage of his rescue: at first you hear the kitten's loud crying, then a man in a bright red survival suit comes into the frame, swimming toward the heartbreaking sound.
The kitten had been hiding on the rudder of a cargo ship before falling several feet into the water just off the docks of a port in Illichivsk, Ukraine.
The man didn't think twice before jumping into the water and saving the kitten. He then swam to the dock and handed the creature over to a fellow crew member, who promptly tucked the kitten in his jacket to keep him warm.
The kitten is now safe and sound — and dry — thanks to one brave soul! A man's selfless actions made a huge difference for this innocent little guy!
Next up? We hope he finds a forever home!
If you're thankful for this man's heroic actions, please SHARE!
