A tiny kitten cruelly tossed onto a busy road has found his forever home with the woman who rescued him.
In June, Tazeam Bashir witnessed a small object thrown from the window of the car in front of her in Pontypool, South Wales.
She slammed on the brakes and discovered a black kitten no bigger than her palm cowering in the middle of the busy street.
“From a distance, I thought it was a bird, but as I stopped I got out of the car and realized it was a kitten, very distressed, and it was lucky,” said Bashir.
Bashir took the kitten home and contacted the local RSPCA. Luckily, the shaken six-week-old kitten didn’t suffer any injuries from his ordeal.
Now, Lucky the kitten lives with Bashir, who says he is doing very well in his new home.
“He has a lovely character and has settled in so well,” said Bashir. “We just can’t believe how we came about to have him. He is part of our family now.”
Lucky recently appeared on BBC’s Crimewatch Appeal TV show with his new guardian and an inspector from the RSPCA. They are appealing for more information to help them find the person responsible for this act of cruelty.

“We’re very grateful to those who managed to safely stop when this happened and help this poor kitten,” said Inspector David Milborrow. “It was remarkable that this kitten survived this shocking incident without injury. We believe that the cat may have come from a grey car which may have been a Fiat. We’re now appealing to any other drivers who may have seen this happen. There was a red Mazda car who also stopped and we’d really like to speak to them to see what they witnessed.”
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the appeal line on 0300 123 8018.
What’s New…
Shocking cruelty but so glad he has a loving home, thank you.
The person who threw the kitten in traffic needs to serve 99 years.hope they have no more animals in their possession.glad someone stopped and got the kitten before he got smashed.
Thank you for saving the kitten
We need tougher laws for these crazy, sick bastards!
I am appalled on the decision to slash the protection of the killing of pigs.. you have now just opened Pandora’s box for abuse of mass torture to these poor animals!!
God bless that lady. And I pray the cruel monster who threw the baby out the window is caught and appropriately punished. Actually, more than “appropriately”.
Thank you so very much, Tazeam Bashir, for being so alert and rescuing that poor kitten from a certain fate. You are truly a hero and full of compassion and kindness. Also, more importantly, thank you for giving it a loving forever home.
What’s with losers throwing animals out of cars instead of taking them to the SPCA??? Luckily, this cat survived.
I Imagine that dog- & cat meat will not be declared as what it really is and where it comes from.
And in China e.g. nobody has a problem eating all kinds of exotic meat the more exotic the better !
I actually experienced it myself being invited for an exclusve dinner with a high profile business man. The more exotic & expensive the better.
This is how they show their status and wealth.

Thank you for being a caring and loving person!!
I would have done the same thing. Thank you for saving this innocent kitten. Hope you’d gotten the license
plate so the jerk who did this could face fines & jail for animal abuse.
THANK YOU, Ms. Bashir — you’re the best — let’s replicate people like you all over the world.
Thank you for helping Lucky and giving him a home.
I do hope they catch this person.
No CCTV carmeras on this road or vicinity?. Any person who knows someone who had a black kitten that just is not around anymore?
They will be caught and I hope it is soon.
Justice does not sleep even if it take a long time.
Peaceful and family friendly !!!!! Surely you JEST !!! OK. How about this…. Some one should make your family ,friends ,and loved ones lives more peaceful and family friendly by taking you out of the picture !!! How’s that for peaceful and family friendly ..HMMMM 😱🤬😠🤮💩👎
Lucky reminds me of how I ended up with a black 6 weeks old kitty, a long time ago. Some bastard threw him out of his car, onto the highway and a friend of mine rescued him. He knew I wanted a kitty and brought him to me. It was love at first sight. He had been gone a long time ago but I still love him in my heart..
People make me SICK
What a miraculous happening and happy end to what could have been a terrible tragedy.
Anyone who would do this..is a monster..i hope they find the person who did this and punish them severely..
A positive ending for an innocent animal. Just remember folks, we live among deranged people. You never know who it is, it could be your neighbor, your child’s teacher, your doctor, even a local law enforcement officer. Watch yourself, your loved ones and of course your animals.
There is no end to the sadistic creeps that live on our earth.
I have to wonder what are these people like as a family person, a neighbor, a work mate, a friend.
Are others who know them aware of their disgusting behavior?
But I am always thankful for the kind people who come to the rescue of the innocent victims that have suffered abuse from these Satanic type low-lifes.
Who harms an innocent kitten? You will answer before God. I feel sorry for you.
Thankful the kitten was saved and has a loving home.
