A Fourteen-year old boy rushed to rescue a cat hanging off the over-bridge on a highway. The tabby was so grateful to be saved that he clung to his rescuer and didn’t want to let go.
Gavin and his mom, Erin Brown, were on their way to a birthday party when they saw the car in front of them throw a cat out of their window onto a busy highway overpass Fortunately, the cat did not get hit by a moving car. However, he landed on the edge of the overpass and was left clinging to the asphalt. To Erin’s surprise, Gavin got out of the car, ran into the traffic, and grabbed the cat just before he fell.
It was a close call! In an interview with Love Meow, Erin described how everything went so fast that she wasn’t sure which of the two scenes shocked her the most : a cat being thrown out of a moving car or her son diving toward the overpass, in the midst of moving vehicles, to save the kitty.

Does anyone know the state this took place in? I have a cat that is almost 4 years old and looks similar, same backstory. I’m worried this is a repeat offender.
First of all, thank you for risking your life to safe the life of that poor adorable cat! Secondly, I don’t know what made me cry more—the thought of you that you might of gotten hit by on coming traffic or the act of some jerk able to actually throw a helpless animal out of a moving vehicle!
