Kitten Saved on US-101, Finds New Home
A California Highway Patrol officer stopped traffic on US-101 near Summerland to rescue a tiny kitten named Lucky from the No. 3 lane. The officer, with help from a passerby, brought the kitten to the CHP Santa Barbara office and then to Santa Barbara County Animal Services, where she was kept safe while authorities searched for her family.
Because Lucky’s real name was unknown, officers called her Lucky. The officer who rescued her, Officer Foster, grew attached and decided to foster the kitten. He renamed her Scooby and planned to adopt her the following week.
CHP Santa Barbara urged people never to abandon animals on highways and encouraged those unable to care for a pet to seek help from shelters or local animal services.
