A black cat was spotted on the ledge of the Hammersmith flyover in West London, an elevated roadway perched high above the surface ground. It's believed this helpless baby was deliberately thrown out of a car and/or placed there, and left to die. It was only a matter of time before she fell or was hit by a car.
Nearby office workers saw the terrified cat who was seconds from falling from the busy roadway, unable to escape the traffic rushing past her. Three of the employees then took off in their car and drove onto the bridge, armed with a towel and cardboard box. They feared they would scare the cat and cause her to jump off the flyover, but instead she happily nuzzled into her heroes' arms. The Good samaritans got her into the box before driving her to the animal hospital. The daring rescue can be seen in the video below, set to the cheers of the anxious onlookers who watched from the office window.
The cat, now known as Bridget, is recovering at the Blue Cross animal hospital in London. Aside from a bloodied chin, Bridget will be just fine. The staff says she's friendly and trusting, and is quite the incredible survivor.
