Pat Doody rescued the kitten, who he named Party Cat, while riding cross-country from Nevada to New Jersey. Doody said he spotted the kitten, who appeared badly burned, at a truck stop while getting gas.

Once Party Cat got on a regular feeding schedule he improved and his burns healed up. The kitten then lived on the road with Doody until they got home.

Party Cat enjoyed hanging out inside Doody’s vest when they were traveling on the road.

Doody tells Boredpanda that he has never met such a calm cat.

This lucky orange tabby has since seen a vet, is doing well and now lives permanently with Doody.

It goes to show you – you can’t judge a cat rescuer by his clothes!! God bless Doody for his kindness to Party Cat!

Yes, that’s exactly why I wanted to share this story, it breaks the stereotypes of who a cat rescuer is.
