Kitten Comforts Grieving Family
Jesse Benson was driving from Montana to California with a new black kitten in the car beside him. Benson was bringing the little kitten to his girlfirned, Tiphany Fiallo. Unfortunatly, Benson’s car rolled three times, killing him, but amazingly the tiny kitten, Bozeman survived the horrible crash.
It took several animal lovers to get the kitten to Tiphany Fiallo and Jesse’s mom, Joy Benson.
At the site of the crash, a Utah state trooper realized Bozeman was limping, and he decided to take him to a clinic in Utah for treatment. Next, an animal control officer, Kelly Webb tracked Bozeman down at the clinic, after she heard from Joy Benson, who inquired about the kitten. Finally, Jennifer Krause, an employee at the Best Friends Animal Society was kind enough to drive Bozeman home to Benson’s girlfriend and mom.
Tiphany Fiallo and Joy Benson are still grieving the loss of Jesse, but they take some comfort in having Bozeman home safe and sound. Joy Benson said, “When I touch the kitty, I imagine Jesse petting him in the car on the ride home. It’s comforting. Having the cat is like having a living part of Jesse with us.”
Bozeman is a true survivor.
