00:00I just saw it immediately, didn't even warn my family, just pulled over.
00:04The cat was panting like it was close to 100 degrees out.
00:08Ryan is the type of person who simply cannot drive past an animal in need.
00:12I immediately grabbed him. He turned around, bit my finger,
00:16and then the other guy was like, are you good? I'm like, I'm good.
00:21Our hero.
00:22I have no idea how he got there. We took him to the vet and the vet said he was
00:28not only malnourished,
00:29but his back claws were grinded down to his paw pads from continuing to try to climb up the median.
00:37Hi. I knew we got off the wrong foot. I'm sorry.
00:41Him being feral and I'm the one who snatched him off the freeway, he was scared of me.
00:46While Bugs didn't fully trust Ryan, he was slowly starting to warm up to her kids.
00:51Just as Bugs was starting to get comfortable, the unthinkable happened.
00:54A light switch in the bedroom caught fire in the wall.
00:57Bugs had been in the master and was just completely engulfed in flames.
01:01The fire department was able to save him.
01:04I just can't believe that this happened.
01:09He was put in an oxygen chamber for a couple days.
01:13I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
01:17Bugs thankfully made a miraculous recovery at the vet, but the family was displaced for a couple of months.
01:22When I asked Ryan how they dealt with the heartbreak of a completely destroyed home,
01:26her answer redefined everything.
01:28It puts everything into perspective because everything that really did matter was still there.
01:34We still all had each other, including Bugs.
01:38Oh my goodness, he's so stinking cute.
01:45He became like so sweet.
01:48And I feel that he helped us heal a little.
01:54It's just been this like wild ride, but like he's just part of our family now.
01:58I'm sorry.
02:00I'm sorry.
02:08I'm sorry.
