OAKLAND, CA — A California Highway Patrol officer rescued a kitten from Interstate Highway 880 on his first day on the job last month.

The CHP's Oakland office shared the story on social media on Monday. Officer Kittle - his first name wasn't provided - received his final call of the day June 29 about a kitten stuck in the center divide of Interstate Highway 880 near 16th Street.

When Kittle and his field-training officer arrived, they stopped traffic and tried to surround the kitten, but it scampered under their car.
