week, but can't yet find it at their:

"ATTENTION CATLOVERS: A lady caller to the Boortz show this morning
shared the following (I'm winging this from memory):
Her son was on the way to the Atlanta airport yesterday when he saw a
cat cringing in the median of the expressway. Traffic and weather would
not permit him to stop so he called Animal Control or the Humane
Society (I can't remember which) and was advised that since the cat did
not appear to him to be injured, they would not respond.

After arriving at the airport, the man persuaded someone to call and
report an injured cat in the freeway median. A response was promised.

Still concerned about the cat, the man later in the day called his mom
and asked her to drive down the freeway to see if the cat had been
picked up. It was still there.

The mom called the police and explained the situation. They went to the
site, retrieved the cat and reported back to the mom with a phone
number on the cat's collar.

The mom dialed the number several times but without an answer. That
evening a man called her and asked why she had been calling his pager
number. She explained and, after a long pause, the man--in
Colorado--told her what had happened. His wife who almost a week
earlier had been returning to Colorado from Florida had been involved
in a car wreck along the freeway. The family cat that had been in the
car could not be found after the wreck.

Now almost a week, lots of icy rain, several freezing nights and
thousands of passing cars later and thanks to a passing stranger who
cared about such things, a cold, wet and very frightened but patient
kitty is flying back to Colorado to be reunited with its family.

Neat story, huh?"
