Karen Aram of Illinois reports:

Traveling on the highway fast lane to work one morning in Bangkok, Thailand, I was stunned to see a small kitten suddenly in front of me. It appeared to have fallen from the back of a pick up truck ahead. I immediately stopped, though by the time I did, it had disappeared under my small van.

I cautiously got out of the car on the assumption that it was under my car and would surely be killed if I didn�t rescue it, as there was nowhere for it to go. It wouldn�t be able to jump up on the berme on the inside of the highway, given it was so small, and it certainly wouldn�t make it through the fast moving traffic on the other side.

I knew it wasn�t safe for me getting out on the highway with cars buzzing by, and cars behind me honking impatiently, but I could hear the kitten crying.

Trying to reach it appeared to be an almost impossible task given I had to attempt the act from the front of my vehicle. I couldn�t see it but knew I couldn�t drive over it either. Fortunately I was soon able to ascertain that it had crawled up the front wheel, which allowed me to pluck it off and carry it around to the inside of the van.

I raised the little guy up in order to show the drivers stuck behind me that I hadn�t lost my mind and there was a reason for me stopping in this ridiculous way. The response was one of thumbs up and laughter. It wasn�t easy driving into work with this little creature who insisted on sitting under the gas pedal, but we made it unscathed.

Suffice it to say, I now had another cat to add to my menangerie, a beautiful little boy.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
