A little kitten was left abandoned by three adult cats, but they wouldn’t let it and helped it make the five-foot jump onto a rooftop to join them.
The kitten, who was too little to jump, was caught on the steps below while the cats in Naples, Italy, gazed over the edge of the building.
The moving moment when one of the cats leaps down to carry the injured kitten to safety is captured on camera by a neighbouring resident only known as Lucio.
The larger cat tries to make the jump while holding the kitten in its mouth, but the young cat escapes and falls down the steep steps.
The kitten is carried to safety by the cat after it makes the five-foot leap and refuses to be left behind.
The kitten is reunited with the other cats after the cat successfully launches itself onto the roof on its second attempt without dropping it.
Before the four cats ran across the roof together, all three cats were spotted clustering around the kitten to make sure it wasn’t injured.
