Authorities Rescue Kitten Stranded Along Interstate in Texas

Authorities in North Texas rescued a small kitten stranded on the shoulder of Interstate 20 on Friday, October 16, bringing the feline to a local animal shelter.

Footage shared by the Forth Worth Police Department shows several officers, and an official in an animal control uniform, approach the frightened kitten, which had backed itself away over a grating along the busy highway. An officer manages to grab the cat before the animal control officer soothes the animal and places it into a ventilated container.

The department said the kitten was taken to Chuck Silcox Animal Care & Control Center, located in Fort Worth. Credit: Fort Worth Police Department via Storyful
