A cat thrown from a moving vehicle on a Pittsburgh-area highway did not survive.<\/p>\n
Now, Pennsylvania State Police are looking for anyone who may have dashcam video that could help them find the person responsible.<\/p>\n
It happened Wednesday evening around 6:15 p.m. on Interstate 70 eastbound near the Pittsburgh bend that connects to Interstate 79 north.<\/p>\n
Jeralyn Biancaniello was just a couple of cars behind when she saw the cat thrown from the vehicle.<\/p>\n
She pulled over and ran to help.<\/p>\n
Biancaniello volunteers at an animal shelter in Greene County and keeps an animal carrier in her car so she is ready to help an animal in need.<\/p>\n
She said the cat was badly injured. His back legs were not working, and he was crawling with his front paws.<\/p>\n
She rushed him to Pet Search, a Washington County animal rescue and shelter, but he did not survive. Humane workers at Pet Search say he was not chipped. <\/p>\n
Biancaniello and a friend named him Mr. Bibbs.<\/p>\n
She said they did not want him to be just another animal. They wanted him to have a name.<\/p>\n
State police are investigating.<\/p>\n
Anyone who was driving on Interstate 70 eastbound near the Interstate 79 north interchange around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday and may have dashcam video is asked to contact police.<\/p>\n
