Police: Rescued kitten finds new home with trooper

Indiana State Police say that a kitten has a new home after being thrown out of a moving vehicle last week.

According to the Versailles Post, Trooper Tia Hunt was patrolling on U.S. 31 near Crothersville Friday when she saw a delivery driver for UPS stopped along the road. The driver said that he saw a small kitten thrown out of a vehicle window and he felt he had to stop to check on the kitten. The trooper and driver found the kitten and Hunt took the kitten to Jackson County Animal Clinic in Seymour to be checked out.

After X-rays and an examination, the veterinarian said the kitten had some scrapes from road rash and an injured leg, but is likely to recover. The kitten was named “Crash” and was adopted by the trooper and her family.

State police say that they are looking for any information on the driver who threw the kitten from the vehicle.
