New York, New York - New York City subway riders got quite the surprise when a tiny kitten suddenly slipped into their train car!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of New York's underground, a stray kitten found herself among all the rushing people.

As a recent TikTok video from one subway rider shows, the furry friend first balanced carefully on the platform before deciding to take a ride through the Big Apple.

Intimidated by all the people, the young cat decided to take refuge under the seats.

In the meantime, passengers had become aware of the unexpected commuter and were looking for the owner.

The kitten didn't know what was happening to her when a woman suddenly lifted her from the floor and looked around, but nobody seemed to be searching for the animal.

So, the young woman made a big decision.

She held the kitten in her arms for the rest of the journey, at first unsure whether she had made the right choice.

"My first initial thought when I got her was like, 'What do I do?' I've never picked up a stray ever in my life," the woman, named Betsaida Mercado, told People.

"So this was a very 'Oh my gosh' moment."

But the Harlem native was determined to give the sweet creature a proper home.

She has since named the kitten Emmie – a fitting nod to the MTA system.

"She's a very fast learner. Extremely intelligent. Her personality is definitely coming out," Mercado said of her new furry friend.
