Biker Saves Badly Burned Kitten, Continues Cross-Country Trip With Him
281Kviews
32-year-old biker and sheetmetal worker Pat Doody recently rescued a kitten while riding cross country from Nevada to New Jersey. The South Jersey resident and early Volkswagen fan found the kitten at a gas station and named it “Party Cat.” The cat now lives with Doody and has seen a vet.
“I was at this truck stop getting gas, and this little guy just needed help,” he told Revzilla. “He was pretty badly burned, so I picked him up and tucked him inside my vest. We’re feeding him regularly now, so he’s doing better, even though he’s sort of living on the road until we get home.”

“I was coming back from Born Free in California, and we had made it to Nevada”
“I was at this truck stop getting gas, and this little guy just needed help”
“He was pretty badly burned, so I picked him up and tucked him inside my vest”
“We’re feeding him regularly now, so he’s doing better”
“He’s sort of living on the road until we get home”
“He’s been eating tuna fish out of those dry-foil packs you can buy”
(“Party Cat” has been eating regular cat food since he got home)
“His burns are pretty much all healed up except for the little spot on his lip”
“He’s so chill”
“He just hangs out in my vest when we get on the road”
“I’ve never met a cat so calm”

Wonderful people! This made me so happy <3
Totally awesome. That cat has the life x)
I totally love this guy and his kitten!!!
You should do a blog about your kitty as he grows. :)
BOSS!!~
Another example of why pets are better than people.
Faith in people restored, this made my day :D
You sir, I wish there were more words to express it properly and you are probably the influence that allows Party Cat to be so calm.
sweetness!!!
Love when two Spirits meet each other.
Nothing makes me smile more than a big ole badass biker with a tiny kitten
HERO! Thank you for saving this little guy! <3
Happy story, nice guy and a definitely happy cat. Thanks!
Put a much needed smile on my face. Lucky little cat - saved by a great guy!
Hey, you did a real nice thing helping helping your Party Cat. thanks a lot!
Good to see that nice humans are still around.
heartwarming
You find family in the weirdest places!
Love this! A little loving touch and positive attention can make a world of difference! Jealous of the stuff monkey getting all that snuggle time!
Yea for Party Cat!
You never know where you will meet your soulmate, do you? They were meant to find each other!
This is the best story! Tough biker saves a tiny, helpless, burned kitten. You know bikers have always been the people who extend themselves to those in need at inconvenient times more than any other people in society. This just elevates my respect and love for you guys and gals all the more. Set up a blog please so we can follow Party Kitty there and on Facebook - he hit the kitty lottery! <3
THAT is a REAL man there!!! Need more like him...
Good job dude!! Thank you for being HUMANE!!! hugs to you both!!
The travelling cat! What a lovely duo!
God bless him and Party Cat!
Despite his looks, he has a kind heart. the kitten will always love him.
He looks like a Christopher, you should name him Chris!
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool!!
Don't judge a book by its cover:)
Nice, and I'm not even crazy about cats. But it was really nice to save him and take care of him.
might cry
RESPECT!
Lucky cat. Wonderful man.
cool story, glad he shared it
Thankyou Pat Doody!
There are still Kind people out there!!! Thank you !!!
Great story and guy. Lucky Kitty to find a caring home.
Bless you my kind soul friend
nice! i hope party cat's collar is breakaway because they are safer.
Party Cat looks just like my Garfield that I also rescued when he was 1 month old. His mum refused to feed him and threw him out of their house. So I bottle fed him. He's 14 months now and doing well.
Just Amazing
Thats's so sexy I'm pulling my own hair right now.
That's so sexy, I'm pulling my own hair right now.
Great job. Well done.
Awesome biker dude saves awesome kitty!!!! Glad that kitty found a forever home and biker found a riding buddy and they both love each other so!!'n
Best story I've read all week! Give that man a bottle of champagne !
You got to get him some real cat food. Tuna for humans does not contain Taurine, very important to a cat. Thanks Doody for taking care of Party Cat. Anything you need for party Cat Doody, just write....uncia@charter.net
Badass!
thank you so much for doing this!
Great! Happy Kitty!
I love this..Make sure when he gets older he wears a harness so he doesn't end up falling off the bike or using into the street. Thank you for loving him..he is precious.
A truly awesome man :) I hope the little one continues to thrive.
Reminds me of Bob the Cat. He saved the writer's life, gave him a reason to live and a friend for life. Eventually the panhandling author wrote about Bob. Passersby gave more money, and one lady made Bob a little sweater for the winter. I love cats; my family loves cats. There is nothing like a soft little purring friend.
This guy has a huge heart. God bless him and Party Kitty.
Awesome :)
<3
I live for posts like this <3
What a wonderful story. Kudos to this kind biker. The kitten looks like my daughters kitten Charlie.
I think all it ever takes is One Cat. Redheads are the best too, such lovers! Thank you Pat, you've got a heart of gold.
My hero! How lucky they have found each other.
sweet!
Awesome. Of all the horror I read regarding animal cruelty, it is so heart warming to read such a great story. Party cat is a very lucky kitty, he inherited an awesome daddy and has a great home set for life by the looks of things. With possible road trips in future :) A person's true colors show by the way they treat animals. God bless you kind soul for helping this little creature. Wishing you both many happy days together.

<3 You're the man!
OMG i saw the ILLUMANATI
You made the right thing and Now you have a friend for your life! PD. The Reds are Always very strong!
If all cats were as calm and friendly as this one seems to be, a lot more people would like cats! Including me!
This man IS A HRERO!!!
Amazing and inspiring story <3
Wonderful! :)

Biker cat living the life it deserves with a big warm hearted man. Love it!!

So sweet. And the kitteh is so calm because after everything he's been thru, nothing can faze him
I need a bad ass biker who loves cats!
bless your soul sir =) you are amazing !!!!! thank you
Kitties & bikers LOL Great combo here :D Kitty is chill.
Cats can do anything
Proof one can't judge a book by its cover! Were I 50 years younger and 40 pounds lighter, I'd look for them: They're my kind of guys! Beard, Bike and Marmalade Buddy!
Lady JoAnne, you're the devil ;-)
Party on, party cat!!!
I like a good rescue story. I don't know if Pat will see this but... I do love the kitty's collar with sculls on it. I can't tell if it is a breakaway or not. I know of kitties suffering injuries if they can't get out of their collars.
One "boss" kitten's gonna grow up to be One "Boss" Cat, Big Time!
Wow
Awww :3 Lay down, try not to cry, cry a lot!
You're both awesome, Dudes! But I'm glad to hear Party Cat's now getting better food that just tuna. Cats still under 1 year of age do best on kitten food, no matter how kewl they are.
Like, just enjoy the moment! He could've just let the kitten die. I mean he fed it what he had at his disposal.
Sweet. Save pussy, get more pussy.
I love it :-). So happy for the puss x
Awesome!! you are very kind <3
Great ! Best luck to both of you !
<3
Hanks men. Any living creature that needs help should get it. That includes refugees from Syria.
Marry me
Well Kitty, Too Cute for not love to..... <3
He found the right person! Orange tabbies are the best. Most are males and male cats are usually more chill and affectionate than females (in general).
Soooooo awesome!!! Cooll
Cute as a cute thing that's cute xx
