Adorable Black Kitten Causes Traffic Jam In Windsor Terrace

A tiny kitten, estimated to be about 2 months old, caused a traffic jam in Windsor Terrace around lunchtime today.

Motorist Geraldine Cassone flagged down two cops — Officer Christopher Rinelli and Officer Kenia Marte — at approximately 12:35pm on Ocean Parkway near Sherman Street, telling them that a black kitten had run into the street, stopping traffic, according to the NYPD. When she left her vehicle, the woman said she saw the stray run up into her car’s wheel well.

The two officers quickly secured the scene and began searching for the animal.

When they were not able reach the kitty, who had climbed up into the undercarriage of the car, the officers used a jack to lift the vehicle and removed the wheel.

Officer Rinelli was finally able to reach the baby feline and carefully placed her in a towel. Although cold and wet, the kitten appeared to be unharmed.

Cassone took custody of the kitten and said she intends to adopt her, according to police. She has yet to name the lucky post-storm stray.
