A foster kitten named Milo has charmed viewers on TikTok after he was found sleeping in the most adorable spot—a bag of soft toys hanging off a door.
The video, shared by Laura Carroll on December 12 under the handle @lauravictor244, has garnered over 3 million views to date, capturing the hearts of many. The clip not only showcases Milo's cozy slumber, but also tells a story of how the rescue is settling into his new home after being adopted by his fosterer.
Carroll, 40, from Salisbury, Maryland, had taken in Milo after he was found alone on a friend's porch on a cold and windy night. Initially intending to foster him for just one night, Carroll soon found herself unable to part with the kitten.

Follow for more updates/ videos! 𥰠UPDATE: I did not expect this video to get the attention and views that it is but since it has here's the story of kitty. A friend a mine found him on her porch it was freezing that night and sooooo windy. He was out there alone meowing and crying ðShe could not take him inside bc of her other animals so posted him on fb to see if someone could take him for the night. Honestly I was hesitant I haven't fostered in 5 years but something was telling me to get him and no one else seemed to be able to so l def could not leave him in the cold. He was suppose to be here one night but it's been almost a week lol. He is the sweetest little baby and I've been trying so hard not to foster fail 𤣠#catsoftiktok #kittensoftiktok #cutekitten

"I am the biggest animal lover, especially when it comes to cats," Carroll told Newsweek. "Milo started out as a foster, but quickly stole our hearts, so we are now his forever home."
She went on to explain how Milo ended up with her, describing the initial rescue effort spurred by a friend's plea for help.
"My friend found Milo on her porch all alone in the freezing cold on an extremely windy night," Carroll said. "Being unable to take him in because of her other animals, I decided to rescue him.
"Milo was in my daughter's room while I was fostering him, and every time I would open the door, I noticed he would come from behind it, it took me a few days to figure out why."
Viewers online were able to see the delightful moment when Carroll discovered Milo's chosen sleeping spot.
"My daughter has a hanging net of stuffed animal toys that hangs on the back of her door," she said. "Milo climbs into the lowest net, and that is where he sleeps.
"In the video, you can see me entering the room, and he is just waking up from his slumber."
"UPDATE: Milo has officially joined our family," the caption reads.
"Milo is the sweetest kitten and will purr as soon as he sees you," Carroll said. "He has found his place in our hearts and our home.
"Seeing him so content and happy makes all the difference.
Viewers online have shared their delight at the candid moment in the comments section.
"Can't even blame him that look so comfy," one viewer said.
Another added: "Adorable! god bless you for helping out but I think he loves and wants to stay with you."
"They probably think that's where all the cute things sleep so I'll sleep there," another said.
