FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Broward authorities are investigating reports that someone in a pickup truck threw a cat and three kittens out of a window onto a ramp of Interstate 95. The older cat survived, but the three kittens were found dead.
The cat -- gray and white like the kittens -- was discovered in a storm drain near the ramp from Oakland Park Boulevard onto southbound I-95, near where the kittens were tossed around 9:30 a.m. Monday.
Beth Danielson of Pompano Beach, who heads the volunteer group Feline-n-Feathers, said she received a call from a friend who said someone saw a man throwing the animals out of a white Chevrolet pickup truck.
Danielson called 911 and then said she headed toward the ramp, where she said she found the kittens dead on the pavement and the mother cat hiding in the drain.
Danielson is caring for the gray cat, which will most likely be put up for adoption. Danielson said the cat's claws had been broken off, probably from the impact after being thrown from the truck and landing on the pavement.
Anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or Danielson at 954-943-5455.
