Connecticut Boy, 10, Rescues Cat Who Was Thrown Off a Bridge in a Box
The young boy heard meowing coming from a taped up box in the water


A “gorgeous” male cat was rescued in Connecticut after being thrown over the side of a bridge in a box, according to local animal control officers.

The Bridgeport, Connecticut Animal Control shared the news in a Facebook post on Wednesday, explaining that a 10-year-old boy had flagged down a police officer after he saw an adult male throw the box over a bridge and into the water below.

“The young boy heard meowing coming from the box that was completely taped up and tied in a garbage bag,” officers explained in the post.

The boy then “ran to the water’s edge” where he was able rescue the animal from the box.

Photos of the cat shared by Bridgeport Animal Control show the feline seemingly unharmed, in a white box covered with silver duct tape.

1. Good grief and kudos to the boy!

Hoping they find the bastard who did this and that he faces serious charges - we have "Buster's Law" here in New York State named after a cat who suffered this kind of abuse.

2. I wish this little guy a happy and loved life. I'm sure he will get one now.

3. If he was catnapped, hopefully his family will hear about his rescue.

He's apparently a little guy who'd have one.
