The incident took place on Highway 951 in Naples, Florida, according to reports released NBC news. The woman who saw the kitten tossed out of the car’s window grabbed the cat and took it to the Naples Cat Alliance for immediate treatment. The Workers there were amazed to find it had suffered only very minor injuries. A photo of the four-week-old kitten shows its nose bloodied. The kitten is being cared for by the kind people at the Naples Cat Alliance, which is run by dedicated volunteers who rescue cats and place them in permanent, forever homes.
The kitten’s rescuer, who may not be named, said she was not able to get the license plate number of the car before it took off. Killing an animal or committing animal cruelty is a mere misdemeanor offense in Florida. First time violators can be fined for up to $5,000. If someone is convicted of a second offense, then that person can be fined and sent to jail for up to six months. The story was reported on November 5 by an affiliate of NBC news.
