Idaho: Police rescue kitten thrown out of window onto busy freeway; need your help to find who did it

IDAHO -- Posted on the Napa Police Department Facebook page:

We here at Nampa Police often reach out for the public's help. Once again we could use it......This one is a little bit unnerving and for cat lovers- INFURIATING!

Tonight officers were dispatched to Interstate I 84 at MP 36 where a caller was advising that someone had just thrown a kitten out of the window of a moving vehicle while on the freeway.

Nampa Officer's were able to get on scene in time and keep the kitten from getting run over by passing traffic.

Heroes: NPD Officers Orvis and Orvis

"Officer Orvis first saw the kitten hunkered down next to the concrete median barrier. When he stopped it ran under his car and crawled up next to the gas tank. They had to pull off the freeway and get a jack to lift the car up so they could get it out. Poor thing was soaking wet, cold and scared. I hope someone will give it a good home."

The kitten survived the ordeal and was rescued by NPD Officers Tillett and Orvis.

The suspect vehicle is a light colored (white or tan) 2 door pick up truck. It was last seen on I-84 traveling west from milepost 36.

The kitten, deftly named "Lucky" after her harrowing experience, is being cared for by a kind citizen until a home can be found for her.

If anyone recognizes "Lucky" or has any information on the heartless and cruel animal abuser, please call Nampa Police at 208-465-2257 and refer to CR# N16-31923
