Here, kitty, kitty: Trooper saves kitten from busy on-ramp

Firefighters aren’t the only people who rescue kittens in this town.

The Nevada State Police reported on Twitter about a case where a trooper saved a furry friend who was wandering on to a busy freeway in Las Vegas.

Last week police received calls about a kitten on the Eastern Avenue on-ramp to U.S. Highway 95, according to the post.

A trooper identified in the video as Trooper Estrada responded to the scene, corraled the kitten and brought it back to her substation, where “Highway Patrol manager Steve” extracted the kitten from behind the glove compartment.

The kitten, dubbed “Trooper Kitty” in the video, has since been adopted, according to the post.
