Cats come into our lives in some of the weirdest ways and most unexpected places. So many people could have and probably did drive by this kitten and didn't help. It takes one person to notice and care to rescue a kitten that is in need of help. And this kitten was lucky, because on the highway, after most likely being thrown from the window of a moving car and breaking at least one leg that we know of, if no one stopped to help, she would not have made it. 

But someone did stop. Someone noticed a motionless kitten suddenly moving, and that someone stopped everything, in the middle of traffic, to rescue this kitten. And we could not be more thankful. She is the cutest and sweetest, and we know that she will be grateful to you for the rest of her life, and she will thank you with sniggles and purring and the occasional broken vase, and it will be worth every second.

    Oh my goodness, her little casts. She is one of the cutest, most precious cats that we have ever seen, and we cannot imagine who could be cruel enough to do anything to harm her. She is lucky that you found her and that you cared enough to do something to help her.

    We want updates. We need updates. But regardless of how the surgery ends up going, we would like to believe that kind people like you guys will keep her and make sure that she is as happy as she can be, even if it's with one fewer legs. Tripod cats are pawsome, remember that.

    Crafty_Effort6157 OP • 3d ago She was found by my gf's coworker. She was in stand still traffic on the freeway, saw this dead cat, then realized she was alive! She brought the cat to the office, while she was parked and trying to get some milk for her she somehow climbed into the dashboard of her car, some coworkers had to dismantle the dash board to get her out and take her to a vet. She was at the vet all afternoon and evening on Monday and yesterday we found a surgeon who can do the surgery.
