Connecticut State Police and New Canaan Animal Control assisted after a cat was found abandoned in a cat carrier at the I-95 rest stop on Monday, Jan. 24, according to the New Canaan Police Department.
The cat was taken to a veterinarian, who found that the animal had suffered trauma to an eye and two broken legs, police reported.
The cat was named "Highway," police said.
PAWs, an animal shelter in Norwalk, agreed to provide medical assistance.
"Despite the suspected abuse 'Highway' remains a sweet and trusting animal," police said.
Those with interest in helping with Highway's surgeries and rehabilitation can contact PAWS at 203-750-9572, authorities said.
