A Boston runner who was participating in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon stopped at mile 21 to save a kitten. About five miles from the finish line, Sarah Bohan, who was on pace to break her marathon record, discovered the terrified kitten and rescued it.
PAWS Chicago, an organisation that helps to find homes for pets, shared about this heartwarming incident on Instagram.
The page wrote, "Boston resident and TEAM PAWS runner Sarah Bohan truly took our mission to heart when she found and rescued a stray kitten along the route! She was running a personal record pace until Mile 21 when she saw a skinny, matted, scared ball of fluff under a bridge." (Also Read: Man rescues crying cat from the roadside. Watch)
In the next few lines, PAWS Chicago explained, "Sarah stopped to help and carried the kitten with fellow runner Gia Nigro for the next mile, asking spectators for help. A good samaritan stepped up, saying she would love to adopt the little one."
