WATCH: Injured cat rescued from NE Ohio highway by trooper

STARK COUNTY, Ohio (WJW) — “It looks like there’s a cat that’s alive,” a caller told an Ohio dispatcher last week.

With the description from a concerned driver, Ohio State Highway Patrol sent out Trooper Justin Smith of the Canton post to look for an injured cat on the side of I-77 on Aug. 21.

As seen in the video at the top of the story, Smith was able to spot the grey and white feline, which had miraculously not meandered out into the busy highway, and bring the cat to safety.

“The kitten is currently at the Stark County Humane Society waiting to be adopted by it’s fur-ever home!” OSHP said in a Facebook post.

It was not clear how the animal got onto the highway in the first place.
