A roadside rescue turned into a forever home for Toby.

A Wisconsin state trooper responding to a stopped motorist on a ramp to I-90 ended up leaving with a kitten. Trooper Brody Schmitz reached the driver's window and heard that she had watched someone throw kittens from a moving car. The vehicle was gone, but one kitten remained. Schmitz brought it to a nearby animal shelter so it could be cared for during his shift, then told staff he wanted to adopt it himself. He named the tuxedo kitten Toby and carried him home in his arms, possibly his hat. The Wisconsin State Patrol shared the story on Facebook, where commenters traded their own versions. "The cat distribution system works in mysterious ways," one wrote. Several others described pulling cats from car engines and ending up keeping them. Schmitz had set out to help one stranded driver. He came back with a roommate.
