COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A young cat took a wrong turn and ended up on the interstate in southern Colorado.
The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) said a kitten found himself in the middle of Interstate 25 in Colorado Springs.
Animal Law Enforcement responded to the scene and was able to rescue the black kitten, now named Barney, who was on the interstate in 90-degree heat.
"He was running for his life in the summer heat, and by the time they were able to catch him, Barney was panting and exhausted," HSPPR said on Facebook.
"Barney was a bit upset at first that we ended his real-life game of Frogger early, but a cold drink of water, kibble, and a long nap later, Barney was happy to be safe at the shelter and out of danger!"
