Good Samaritan Rescues Kitten Glued To Busy Road In Oregon

SILVERTON, Oregon (CBS Local) – A man rescued a tiny, terrified kitten literally stuck to a busy road road after someone had slathered its paws with glue.

"It's going between their tires, so I'm guessing it's a box."

As he neared it, he realized, "its just a kitten sitting upright shaking like a leaf. And some a–hole had spread glue on its paws and stuck it to the road."

Hawlay expressed disbelief after seeing cars just driving by.

"No one stopped. What the … people?"

Hawley says he got out and stopped traffic and peeled the tiny creature from the pavement. There was glue on its paws, neck and tail. Later, a veterinarian told a local TV station it was done intentionally.

"People were honking and all pissy… really? It's a kitten glued to the road!"

Harley posted a selfie of himself and the kitty on his Facebook page.

He wrote that it took some Goo Gone, some food and cream and "we have a new kitten. Luckiest kitten in the world!"

Harley's story has gone viral, drawing likes, shares, even news crews from local TV stations.

He and wife decided to name the kitten, "Sticky."
