Connecticut kitten survives 36-meter fall from Gold Star Bridge

A kitten named Molly survived a 36-meter fall from the Gold Star Bridge in New London, Connecticut, after plunging into the water below on June 27. The incident was reported to the New London Animal Control, prompting a rescue by a nearby security vessel.

During the rescue, the terrified kitten bit two individuals, including Robert Silva. Following the incident, Molly was taken to a veterinary clinic where she was treated for bruising and a lung contusion, though she miraculously suffered no fractures.

After recovering at the New London Animal Control shelter, Robert Silva, one of the men involved in the rescue operation, returned to the facility several weeks later to adopt the kitten.
