Couple Gasps When They See Someone Tiny Cowering On Median During Rush Hour

While driving through rush hour traffic in Houston, Diana Lopez and her fiancé, Juan, were stunned when Juan spotted a cat curled up on the side of the freeway. Shocked, they quickly decided they had to help.

After making a U-turn and returning, Juan stopped the truck while Lopez waited for a break in traffic. She sprinted out and managed to rescue the terrified cat, breaking into tears once she was safely back in the car.

The 1-year-old calico, later named Callie, was in rough shape—bloody paws and covered in cuts—but began to recover quickly with food, a bath, and care. After a vet visit and a week of healing, Callie was thriving.

Lopez, already a cat lover, knew she couldn’t let Callie go and welcomed her as the newest member of their feline family.
