After Family's Car Wreck, Cat Waits Week In Median & Is Rescued
I saw a remarkable kitty story in the actual Atlanta newspaper last
week, but can't yet find it at their: www.ajc.com while here is a version i saw via google research at the free republic forum: copyrighted by the free republic 2005 "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?" |
