A 14-week-old stray kitten is rescued after being found cowering by the side of a busy freeway in San Francisco. The kitten is described as injured and frightened, prompting a rescue response by San Francisco Animal Care and Control.

Following the discovery, responders carry out a dramatic rescue attempt to remove the kitten from a potentially dangerous roadside situation. After the kitten is recovered, it is taken for care as part of the agency’s efforts to address stray and injured animals.

While the outlet coverage focuses on the kitten’s apparent condition and the urgency of the roadside intervention, the central facts remain consistent: the kitten is spotted on a freeway shoulder, its age is reported as about 14 weeks, and San Francisco Animal Care and Control conducts the rescue and arranges subsequent treatment.
