Kitten saved from busy Auckland motorway
The long arm of the law has come to the rescue of a kitten dashing across an Auckland motorway.
Read more about the rescue in Melanie Earley's story:
A kitten has survived what could have been a catastrophe on Auckland's Southern Motorway during last night's rush hour.
Auckland City District police’s motorway patrol team were called to help after members of the public reported seeing a kitten on the highway near Grafton shortly after 6pm on Tuesday.
The kitten managed to cross all southbound lanes unscathed, but could have caused an accident, so motorcycle officer Senior Constable Robert Campbell came to its rescue.
Auckland City District police posted a photograph of the tiny tabby, who appeared to be abandoned, hiding inside a bag intended for Campbell’s speed detector.
Police said the kitten was then taken to the nearest police station for some water, and to the SPCA for a check over.
“Quite smitten with the kitten, Rob decided to give the ball of a fluff a new loving home with his family,” police said.
It’s not the first time this year a kitten has had to be saved from Auckland's southern motorway – in January, a kitten had to be rescued between Greenlane and Market Rd by police.
