Someone throws a tuxedo kitten out of their car on a busy highway, but luckily, she gets saved in time and goes from the side of the road to the center of someone’s world

One person's trash is another person's treasure.

People who don't want to have cats should not have cats. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? But apparently, it is not so obvious. Some people who don't want cats decide to put their hands on them anyway. And that is how you end up in a situation like the one you have in today's story. There is no excuse for throwing a cat out of a car window on a busy highway.

You can't say that this is someone who wasn't educated about shelters or vets. This is someone who wanted to do something malicious. And as horrible as it is to remember that, stories like this one remind us that there are still good people out there who are willing to stop in the middle of said highway and save a cat in need. This cat's life may have started horribly, but that exact incident is what brought this cat to her forever home, where she is and forever will be loved the way she deserves to be.

We never ever understand such disregard for life. Why in the middle of a busy highway? Any other option would have been better. We're not even talking about trying to find the cat a new home or taking the cat to a shelter or a vet. No, we're talking about leaving them out on the street or in a dumpster. Anything would have been better than throwing the cat out in the middle of a busy highway. That is something that we will never understand.

The people who threw her out like that didn't deserve her anyway. Any person who doesn't care about cats shouldn't have them. We don't know why they would even pick her up in the first place. The start of her experience with humans may have been horrible, but we could not be happier that it ended where it did. She is actually where she deserves to be - in her forever home, loved every day until her last day.
