Lt. Fragkias was able to find the kitten, which was still on the main lanes, and rescued it, according to the post.

Herman shared an update Thursday saying the kitten, now named Iris in honor of Fragkias, has been adopted to “loving owners,” and they will be taking her to the vet to make sure she is in good health.
