TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — An Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper rescued a cat near a Phoenix highway.
In November 22, Trooper Patrick Stoner was on Interstate 10 to check for speeding vehicles.
He was hearing meows near the median of the highway coming from a cat, says AZ DPS.
The cat was injured behind a cement barrier and Trooper Stoner called for transport.
A veterinarian checked the cat, who's leg had to be amputated, but Trooper Stoner adopted the cat, now named "Cheddar."
