I think I understand the overall meaning, "It seems that he went to save the
kitten and got bitten" but i want to understand more about the に いって.

How to parse たすけにいって
Adding particle に to the i-form (also called stem, masu-form, etc.) indicates
a **purpose** for going somewhere.

In your case, the purpose for going is to _save the cat_. So, as you guessed,
"He went to save the kitten" is a good translation.

Other simple examples of this grammar construct:

> 映画を見に行った  
>  I went to see a movie
>
> ゲームを買いに行く  
>  I'm going to buy a game
>
> 友達に会いに行った  
>  I went to see my friends

answer
しに行く means "go to do" and this て means "and then".

行っ is a euphonic change of 行き which is masu-form of 行く. I think your
translation is good.
