SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A 13-week-old kitten is on a recovery journey after being found injured along a San Francisco freeway.

Animal Care & Control San Francisco officials say the white domestic shorthair kitten was spotted by someone lying on his side in the sun against a white barrier on the freeway near San Jose Avenue.

Officers "rushed" to the scene, stopped traffic and rescued the kitten, according to Animal Care & Control San Francisco.

" The kitten is receiving treatment for injuries from our veterinary team," animal control officials said. The extent of the kitten's injuries was not clear.
