Most people associate heavy metal with blood, death, and Satanic rituals, but the heavy metal band Slayer may also be known for rescuing a kitten. Slayer guitarist Kerry King was finishing dinner at his favourite steakhouse with the band’s road crew before a gig at the Old National Centre in Indianapolis, when a homeless man offered to sell a kitten to assistant tour manager Jess Cortese for a dollar.

The band’s publicist Heidi Robinson-Fitzgerald said: “The kitten apparently was freezing, so Jess took it, slept with her in her bunk on the bus and went to the venue with her today, hanging out. One of the runners knew someone who wanted a kitten, so the little guy now has a new home where he or she currently is.”
