On Tuesday, KRIV reporter Chelsea Edwards won the day with what might be the cutest live shot ever.
The Houston reporter was reporting on flooding in the area from heavy rain when she noticed a kitten crying out. Viewers went wild on social media as she made an impromptu rescue on live TV.
“Flooded… with love!” one viewer wrote.
FLOODED…with ♥️!

After the live shot, Edwards took the kitten home and named her Beta.”‘Beta’ the rescue kitten is much drier now!” Edwards wrote on Twitter. “She took to a liking to a rain-softened dog biscuit I forgot in my pocket. I’ve gotten a couple requests, so I’ll post an update on where she goes!”

Beta was later adopted by a family who reached out to Edwards over social media.
UPDATE: We have the best viewers! Thanks so much to everyone who reached out offering to take in our flood rescue “Beta”! This sweetie spent the day napping, hanging with me & Mocha, and is now with her loving new family with plenty of kiddos & other pets to keep her busy! pic.twitter.com/etUJ9KmYM8
