Kitten rescued from top of Dames Point Bridge by construction crew

Jacksonville, FL — He was found alone at the top of the Dames Point Bridge.

A 5-week-old kitten is now safe in the care of the Jacksonville Humane Society (JHS) thanks to two construction workers.

On Sunday, May 21st, Arthur Earley and Jose Rosario were working at the top of the Dames Point, when they heard a kitten cry. They stopped working and eventually found a tiny kitten, huddled behind a large piece of concrete.

They were able to grab the kitten and pull him to safety, offering up their own water and snacks.

A veterinarian with JHS found the kitten needed to gain weight, but is otherwise healthy.

The kitten, now named Dames Point, is currently in a foster home, gaining weight, before he can return to JHS for adoption.
