Motorist throws kitten onto Interstate 90; rescued kittens up for adoption ...
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland woman was horrified as she drove on Interstate 90 west at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday near West 65th Street.
"I saw a very small gray kitten bounce across the highway, hitting the sides of vehicles and getting hit by cars," Sarah Jones said. "It was quite clear that someone threw the kitten out of their vehicle.
I really wish I would have clearly seen who had done it -- one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. Truly disturbing."
Anyone who saw the vehicle or the person who threw the kitten is asked to call the Cleveland Animal Protective League's humane officers at 216-377-1630.
An Animals in the News reader is offering a $100 reward to anyone with information that leads to the arrest of the person who threw the kitten.
"I encourage others to contribute to increase my reward offer," Dan Spehar , of Parma, said. "This type of cruel behavior toward animals cannot be tolerated and the perpetrator should be punished to the fullest extent of the law."

Black and Orange Cat Foundation » Oswald, The Cat Who Made Me ...
When I was a child, my family always had cats. These were the kind of cats I now try to help: un-sterilized, sickly, producing litter after litter of kittens. I cannot remember ever taking one of those cats to the vet for routine care. They passed in and out of our house, getting hit on the road, dying of horrible diseases, skinny, and covered in fleas.
That does not mean that I didn’t love them. I did. I was only a little kid and these were my best friends. I told them my secrets and held their warm, furry faces against me when I was scared or couldn’t sleep. I sobbed when their tiny bodies gave out and we buried them along the fencerow.
After the cat we had while I was in Junior High school disappeared, my family remained animal free until my sister adopted a cat. She and I were both adults by that time and many years had passed since our last feline experience.
Because I had become an “Auntie” to a black kitten named Butler, I soon succumbed to my childhood devotion to cats and decided to personally re-enter the world of purrs and whiskers by adopting a kitten myself in 2001.
I am embarrassed to say that I had never had a cat neutered until I was an adult and brought my cat, Oswald, home from our local humane society. Oswald came to me as many of the cats in my past had: un-neutered and teeming with fleas and parasites. But I vowed that this kitten would not be like my childhood pets and off he went to the vet.
I loved Oswald for all the reasons people adore their companion fuzzballs. I never knew how happy a cat could make someone until this sweet, buff boy came into my life. Oswald slept beside me at night, never leaving my side if I was sick or had a migraine. He greeted me when I came home, helping to ease the stresses of the day. He made me laugh and cheered me up when I was down.
He did cute things that expressed his unique personality like climbing in my suitcase when I was going on trips to make sure my clothes were covered in his hair even if he wasn’t around to do it himself. He then gave me the cold shoulder for the first hour when I returned home from those cat-less trips, quickly forgiving me by jumping in my lap for a rubdown.
