Driver filmed dropping kitten out of car window on busy road

RSPA appeal for witnesses after young cat abandoned in Pontypool, Wales

The RSPCA has appealed for witness after a six-week-old kitten was dropped out of a moving car in the middle of a busy road.

Dashcam footage shows motorists stopping to rescue the animal after spotting it lying abandoned on the dual carriageway in Pontypool, Wales.

The kitten was taken to a local vet for checks but did not suffer any injuries.

A witness told the RSPCA they saw the cat come out a car window on the roundabout between the A4043 and A472 on 30 June at around 4.23pm.

“We’re very grateful to those who managed to safely stop when this happened and help this poor kitten,” said inspector David Milborrow, who is investigating this incident.

“It was remarkable that this kitten survived this shocking incident without injury.

“We’re now appealing to any other drivers who may have seen this happen.”

Investigators believe the kitten may have come from a grey car, which was possibly a Fiat.

The footage also shows a red Mazda car that also stopped a few metres further down the road.

“We’d really like to speak to them to see what they witnessed,” said Inspector Milborrow.

The kitten is being looked after by a foster carer with charity Cats Protection in Gwent.
