Tiger was the smallest kitten in the rescue shelter, overlooked repeatedly because of his size. But when the Lee family visited, their young son pointed at Tiger and said, “He’s the one.” They adopted him, unaware of the brave heart hidden inside such a tiny body.
Tiger loved exploring the house, especially the baby’s room. One morning, as the family prepared breakfast, Tiger suddenly hissed loudly. He stood stiff, tail puffed, eyes locked toward the crib. A snake had slithered in through an open window, coiled near the sleeping baby.
Tiger leaped forward, swatting and growling. His loud cries alerted the parents, who rushed in and saw the shocking scene. They quickly removed the snake and held Tiger in tears of gratitude.
That day, Tiger became more than a pet—he was a protector. The family later admitted they originally adopted him out of sympathy, thinking a tiny cat needed a chance. They never expected that chance would save their child’s life. Tiger taught them that bravery isn’t measured by size but by heart.
