When a Wisconsin state trooper arrived to help a motorist who had stopped on a ramp up to I-90, he never could have imagined how his life was about to change.
Trooper Brody Schmitz arrived at the driver’s side window, and heard a disturbing story.
“The motorist informed him that she had witnessed someone throw kittens out of a moving vehicle,” the Wisconsin State Patrol wrote in a Facebook post.
“Unfortunately, the offending vehicle was not located, but a kitten was found. Trooper Schmitz took the kitten to a nearby animal shelter to have it cared for while he was at work, but told them he wanted to adopt him.”
Schmitz named the tuxedo kitten Toby, and took him home in his arms and/or hat.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote that Wisconsin State Patrol did not immediately respond to a request for details.
“The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways,” one person commented on the Facebook post.
Indeed, the comment section was filled with interesting stories of the same sort.

“I rescued a cat out of a car engine down in Detroit last summer. Called the police and told them why I was breaking into the vehicle. They showed up to help me,” wrote one.
“I found my furbuddy on duty. Dispatched 911 to an aggressive animal. Caller was afraid of cats so i took the young kitten to patrol with me. After climbing on my shoulder i knew he was going home with me,” wrote another.
