It shouldn't happen to a cat

All of a sudden, it seems like it’s open season on cats in Delaware County.

First it was a kitty that was set on fire in Darby Borough. A 9-year-old boy was taken into custody. Then a cat was found after it was shot with a BB gun in Chester.

Now it seems like another cat has been victimized, this time in Brookhaven.

It is believed that a kitty may have been tossed from a moving car during yesterday morning’s busy rush hour along Edgmont Avenue.

The heroine in this case is TaLisha Champ, who works at a nearby McDonald’s and was waiting for a bus after completing her shift. She noticed the cat in the street and directed cars around the kitty until help could arrive.

The 6-week-old kitten has injuries consistent with being tossed from a moving car.

It just makes you shake your head. And also wonder this: If people are capable of doing this to defenseless animals, what else are they capable of?

God bless TaLisha Champ. It's people like that that inform me, all is not lost in humanity; that there are still decent people in the world. A few weeks ago I saw a large snapper turtle which was navigating through a busy 5 points road. I parked and diverted traffic and attempted to divert the turtle only to be helped by another person (amazingly, this person was very wealthy...).

Yeah, God bless TaLisha Champ and we need to watch out for those critters while driving.

TaLisha Champ you're one cool chick! Thanks for helping the kitten who would have been road kill if it wasn't for you. We need more people such as yourself in this world.
