The man believed to have thrown a mother cat and three of her kittens out of his company truck in Fort Lauderdale is out of a job.

A Jacksonville construction company has fired the unidentified employee for violating company policy.

According to Broward Sheriffs Office, witnesses saw a man throw three kittens about 12 weeks old and an adult female cat from the moving truck on the southbound entrance ramp from Oakland Park Boulevard to I-95 on Monday morning.

The three kittens were killed by oncoming traffic. The mother cat was saved after being picked up by good Samaritans who called police.

The rescued mother cat, named �Freeway�, is recovering at the Bayview Animal Hospital. She lost all of her claws from trying to grip the asphalt when she was tossed from the moving vehicle.

It�s not known if police plan to file any charges against the driver.
