Silverton man rescues kitten glued to busy road
SILVERTON, Ore. (AP) – A Silverton man says he found and rescued a 5-week-old kitten glued to a busy road.
KPTV says Chuck Hawley rescued the female kitten, which had some sort of glue on her paws, neck and tail.
Veterinarian Jenny Bate says it’s clear the glue was intentionally put on the kitten’s paws.
She was able to remove the glue using mineral oil and the kitten should fully recover.
Hawley says it’s incredible the kitten wasn’t hit by a car.
He saw several vehicles drive over her before he could rescue her.
Hawley tells KPTV he and his wife will adopt the kitten. They have named her Sticky.
Marion County Sheriff’s Lt. Chris Baldridge says if Hawley files a crime report, his agency will investigate.
So far, no report has been filed.
