A stray kitten on a country road is likely in dire straits. Luckily for one particular kitten, it was a road that Miranda Lambert and her husband Brendan was driving on.

Miranda shared on Instagram along with pictures, "Two lane highway in Texas, speed limit 70. Brendan slows down and does a U-turn... Me to B: “why are you turning around? “B to me: “there’s a kitten in the road and I knew you would kill me if I saw it and didn’t stop.” Well I guess the rescue ways are rubbing off on him. We stopped at mom and dads on the way home. Dad has a new bestie."

She added, "This kitten rode 9 hours back to Nashville with us and 3 dogs and was such a champ. He is 4-5 weeks old and weighs 14 Ounces. Y’all welcome Tequila the kitten to the family! #tequiladoes @muttnation."
