Metal icons Slayer stop tour bus to rescue this freezing little kitten

Ahead of their show at the Old National Centre in Indianapolis, metal band Slayer stopped to rescue a poor, freezing kitten from a blustery winter evening.

"Last night Kerry [King] and some of the crew went to dinner at Kerry's favorite steak house in Indy, St. Elmo's Steak House. Afterwards, the assistant tour manager, Jess [Cortese] saw a homeless man on the street who offered up this little kitten for a dollar," a post to the venue's Facebook reads.

“The kitten apparently was freezing so Jess took it, slept with her in her bunk on the bus and went to the venue with her today, hanging out. One of the runners knew someone who wanted a kitten, so the little guy now has anew home where he or she currently is.”

Coincidentally, earlier this week another cat-related event involving the band Slayer went viral. A video of a cat intensely watching a Slayer concert video on TV is being widely shared on social media.

             

How’s that for some holiday cheer?
