Cats can get into a lot of places humans can't fit or won't try. They love to climb into high trees. And apparently onto busy highway overpasses.

Rob Acuña Jr. was on his way to work one day when he spied a pair of eyes. It was something he definitely wasn't expecting and almost didn't stop for. But, we are glad he did! He was going over an overpass in Houston when he caught a glimpse of a tiny pair of eyes. "I noticed a little bump on the freeway wall that just happened to look like a little face as I drove by," He told The Dodo. He thought he was seeing things after a long, tiring day at work.

He continued to drive, but the mental image wouldn't go away. He decided to double back to make sure he wasn't seeing things. So he drove back over the overpass with his hazard lights on and driving slowly. He found out he hadn't been dreaming. There was a little bundle of fur trapped between two concrete slabs.

This kitten had become stuck and was naturally frightened. It was moving to jump off the overpass when Rob approached. Luckily, he grabbed her just in time. Rob's onboard car camera captured the entire thing. He was in apparent disbelief the entire time. He said, "If I had not caught it on camera, I would not believe that it even happened!"

He posted his relief and shock on Facebook with a caption, "SO happy he/she did not jump over the ledge (about 20ft-30ft drop) !!!!!"

Rob brought the little kitten home, where she got a bath and a name, "Pepper". The family is currently fostering the little one until she can be adopted out through the Southern Comfort Animal Rescue.

Acuña posted an update on Facebook that said Pepper is doing well. Once she got over her fright and stress, she started to show off her feisty personality. The vet gave her a clean bill of health and determined she was about 10 weeks old.

Since the video went viral, a lot of people have come forward to adopt Pepper. Rob's family loves little Pepper and may decide to make her a permanent part of the family. If they don't, they will work to find her a forever home through a rescue group.
