When Jason Frost and Brandon Key went fishing on the Black Warrior river in Alabama, they had no idea what they might catch. They never imagined that it would turn into a “cat-fishing” trip, which is exactly what happened when they rescued two kittens that swam out from shore to seek safety on their boat.

“Y’all are not gonna believe what is swimming towards our boat. A kitten,” Frost says in his now-viral video of the kittens’ ordeal. Though wet and terrified, the kittens are good swimmers and they seem grateful for the rescue. In the video, Frost guesses that they were abandoned there by their previous owners.

After reaching dry land, Frost and Key met a family that fell in love with the kittens and adopted them.

It was a kitten, and a second soon followed as well

“Some jackass probably put them out here”

“This puts a new spin on the term ‘catfishing’”
