This is the heartwarming moment a Filipino couple on a motorbike rescued a kitten that was inches away from being crushed by a car.<br /><br />Husband and wife Genesis and Cris Dumlao were riding through busy traffic when they spotted the frail kitten along in Manila, the Philippines on the morning of September 5.<br /><br />The stray kitten, which had wandered from an abandoned building where it was born, was desperately trying to dodge the oncoming cars.<br /><br />Drivers on the motorway were unable to spot the tiny feline, but the couple noticed it easily because they were on a motorcycle.<br /><br />Nail-biting footage shows how the couple pulled up alongside a car - frantically signalling for it to stop as it pulled forward towards the animal.<br /><br />Wife Cris, who was riding pillion, reached down and picked up the kitten to take to safety with just moments to spare before it would have been ran over.<br /><br />The couple took the kitten to the nearest petrol station where staff cared for it until they had chance to return.<br /><br />"We came back after three days and thankfully she was still there. I'm grateful to the gasoline boys who took care of her for three days," said Genesis.<br /><br />The kitten, named Edsa after the Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue where she was found, is now living with the couple and their son Thirdy.<br /><br />Genesis added: ''It was a very, very lucky we saved him. If I hadn't signalled for the car to stop, it would have run over the cat. He's safe now and we will raise him as part of our family.''
