kitten was rescued along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway on Wednesday.
Eddie
and John are two cat rescuers from Long Island who received a call Wednesday
morning about a kitten sitting along the Brooklyn-Queens
Expressway since Tuesday night.
The
pair of rescuers knew they wanted to help, and after reaching out to the NYPD
for assistance, helped bring the kitten to safety.
The
video captured moments after the kitten was rescued shows just how
high the stakes were. John said that the situation was very risky, as the kitten could
have fallen several feet or gotten onto the active highway at any point during
its time up on the road.
The kitten is
currently at the Brooklyn Cat Café, an adoption center and social space
run by the Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition.
