Tiny kitten rescued from the middle of highway
Security cameras on a Russian highway have captured some nail-biting footage of a tiny kitten stranded on the busy road.
The feline can be seen falling from the window of a speeding car and was left in the middle of Kaliningrad highway for a total of thre-and-a-half minutes, as cars passing by narrowly missed it. Thankfully, the story has a happy ending.
In the anxiety-inducing video above, on heroic man stops his car to pick up the poor animal. The good Samaritan, later identified as Denis Degtyarev, told Life.Ru that not only was the lucky kitten unharmed, it’s already found a new home.
"I checked him quickly as I picked him up — he looked deeply shocked but all right," Degtyarev told the local news source. "I drove it to the sport school which my kids attend, and there, friends of ours quickly found him a new family. He is doing well now."
You have to see the incredible footage for yourself. If you’re worried that the stress is too much to bear, don’t worry, it’s a shortened version.
