Teen Braves Traffic To Save Thrown-Out Cat

Abandoning an animal is one of the most terrible things a person can do.

Meet Gavin

Fourteen-year-old Gavin Orlowski found a forever friend along the highway.

On Their Way

He and his mother were driving through Interstate 196, Michigan one Sunday to go to a birthday party.

A Shocking Moment

While driving, the two of them gasped when they saw a poor cat being thrown out of the van in front of them.

His Response

Gavin knew that he needed to get the cat, so he bolted out of their car in the middle of the traffic to rescue the poor feline who was now “hanging off the over-bridge.”

Checking Him Up

They got the cat checked at the BluePearl Animal Hospital where they were told that there’s nothing wrong with him except that his nails were torn off after grasping on asphalt.

A Helping Hand

After hearing the good news, the receptionist then walked in and said, “Mrs. Brown we just received a phone call from one of your Facebook friends to cover, basically all of the bills.”

Getting Lucky

Gavin and his mother decided to adopt the cat. They named him Lucky.

Looking For The Previous Owners

Gavin and his mother tried to find the person responsible for throwing the cat off the highway, but unfortunately, the person must have had gotten far after the incident.
