This is the story of Chuck Hawley, a Salem resident who saved a kitten from the middle of a busy road. When Chuck saw the kitten in the street, he initially thought it was just standing still. But when he got closer, he realized that someone had stuck the kitten to the ground with some adhesive. The kitten was terrified and could barely move. If Chuck hadn’t stopped to save it, the kitten would have been run over and killed. Thanks to Chuck’s heroism, this little kitty is safe and sound!
The animal was stuck to the pavement, so Chuck used some solvent he had in his trunk to try and get it off. He managed to free one paw at a time by treating each one with the solvent, but every minute that passed, traffic got busier, putting the kitten’s life at risk and Chuck’s. He continued slowly and carefully, trying not to panic or rush as that could harm the baby even more. Once all four paws were freed, he took him straight to the vet.
The kitten had bruises all over its body, leading the veterinarian to believe it had been abused. They called the police, hoping to find the abusers, but they were never caught.
The kitten was checked out and is now doing fine. Amazingly, this little kitty survived such a scary ordeal!
Later, Chuck decided to take the kitten to his house; He thought the baby was sent to him from heaven! Now he is not going away; he is Sticky!
Do you have a story of heroism like Chuck’s?
