Freeway has 8 lives to go!

On July 13th, 2006 I was stuck behind a gas tanker truck at a red light on US 31 in the left turn lane. When the light turned green, I saw this tiny kitten fly out of the back wheel well of the truck and thrown about 25 feet into the grassy median. I turned into a nearby gas station, ran across the highway into the median, and began searching for the kitten.

I found the little kitten lying in the tall grass panting and scared to death. Her eyes were as big as marbles. I picked her up, put her in my lap, and took her home. After being examined by a local vet, the 7 week old kitten was found to have a dislocated front shoulder and a broken elbow. “Freeway” also had a broken pelvis. A splint was put on her front leg for six weeks. Since her pelvis was not separated, it healed naturally. She never seemed to be in any pain while she was hurt.

Freeway is healing well but still walks with a slight limp and plays like a normal little kitty cat. You would never have known she suffered a near death experience. She has a sweet disposition and is beautifully marked. She is one very lucky kitten.
