"It was a beautiful little boy with cute blue eyes which we are keen to adopt. [We] will be helping all authorities involved to catch the people.

RSPCA inspector David Milborrow said: "We’re very grateful to those who managed to safely stop when this happened and help this poor kitten.
"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.”
