Maybe it was because she was all alone and shivering in the cold and frantically trying to avoid being stepped on.
It reminded him of his sons.
He had merely been there to get Raphael the pet turtle he had been eyeing the last time they came topside.
He'd have to warn them about the dangers of being seen but later.

Heavy drops splattered against the grey hood of the windbreaker he used to shield his identity and pitiful meowing pinched painfully at his heart.
She had intelligent green eyes that watched him suspiciously as he got closer.
She had no collar and as he knelt, he could see her favoring her left hind paw.
He sighed and moving swiftly, as gently as possible, shoved her unceremoniously into the center of the jacket.
She shivered against his chest, her wet fur soaking through the fabric, as he descended into the darkness of the sewers.
Down into his home.
