This gorgeous gray kitten was all alone in the woods when just by chance, decided to bolt out into the road. It just so happened that Brittany, a volunteer of Sparkle Cat Rescue was driving by and noticed something bolt from the trees and flash across the road. 

Brittany told LoveMeow, "I was certain it was a squirrel at first but after I passed it, I saw in my mirror that it ran to a tree and stopped. I turned around immediately to go check it out."
