‘Welcome to the freeway feline rescue club’: Dear driver stops to save a cat from a raging road side and gives her a furever home

You're driving. You spot a cat - alone, scared, maybe hurt - and your heart just stops. No matter the time, the weather, or the traffic, you know you can't keep going. As cat lovers, we simply don't look away. We pull over. We kneel down. We act. Because every one of us has imagined our own furry friend in danger - and we hope someone would stop for them, too.

That's exactly what happened to Pancake, a sweet little cat who was hurt and alone on the shoulder of a highway. But one kind soul saw her, stopped, and refused to let her suffer. Thanks to their quick action (and the generosity of strangers) Pancake is now safe, healing, and on her way to a loving forever home. We're endlessly grateful for people like this: the ones who remind us that real cat heroes walk among us… and sometimes drive the freeway.
