Kitten that outlived Hurricane Matthew

The animal was brought into Petsmart's Banfield Pet Hospital and treated as they tried to find it a new home. The tiny kitten has taken Twitter by a storm. Twitter user @crysomemore witnessed the event when they visited Petsmart to buy their cat a tag. They photographed the kitten, and the pictures now have over 34,000 retweets.

The Twitter user explained what happened. A man with two children came in to the shop and started looking at the cats. A woman who worked at the pet shop came up to them and asked: "You guys are looking for a cat?" The man said "maybe", and so she brought out the rescued kitten.

She turned up to the shop, cradled the kitten, bought pet supplies and they left. Hurricane Matthew, the most powerful Atlantic storm since 2007, has killed at least 17 people in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina since Thursday and left more than two million businesses and homes without power. Haiti bore far more damage than the United States, where the hurricane killed almost 900 people. At least 13 people have died of cholera in the Caribbean island since the storm. Officials have also said around 61,500 people are housed in shelters. Coastal communities in North Carolina and Virginia were still being threatened by the hurricane over the weekend, with flash flood warnings in effect and gusts of 75 miles per hour (120 kph) were recorded.
