LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Metropolitan EMS (MEMS) paramedics and Little Rock Fire Department firefighters responded to a vehicle collision on the interstate and were surprised to find a small orange kitten when the front bumper came off of the damaged car.

The cat was uninjured and the crash victim decided at the scene to become the cats owner, reported Arkansas Matters.

“I just happened to look down at the front of the car at the damage and there was a little orange ball of fur that had been sitting there I guess the whole time,” said Courtney Hagar, a MEMS paramedic.

The kitten, now named Hallelujah, went to the hospital in the ambulance and then spent a few hours at the MEMS dispatch center before being picked up by her new owner.

The vehicle driver involved in the single-car collision sustained minor injuries.
