A random act of kindness has gone viral.

Karen Miele from Nottingham in the UK was surprised to find an envelope from a neighbour in her letterbox earlier this month.

When she opened it, the artist discovered a photo of her cat Chips and a note from the older woman named Jean.

It read: "For you, your lovely cat. I always look for him. Jean."

Karen took to the Twitter to share the sweet gesture and many people were moved by it.

She wrote: "An old lady took a photo of my cat Chips, went to the trouble of getting it developed and then put it in our letterbox this morning."

Karen went on to explain that she'd been having a bad week and Jean's act of kindness made her feel so much better.

The post's been shared over 26,000 times with over 1,400 comments.

They included: "Imagine if many more people were like this. The world would be such a better place."

Another person wrote: "My Nan was called Jean and this made me a bit teary as this is exactly the thing she would have done, including putting the year on the back of the photo."

Another neighbour named Laura tweeted that she showed Jean the reaction to her photo of Chips and she was thrilled.

Laura also took a gorgeous photo of Jean with her photo.
