North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Roadside Maintenance Engineer Ryan Barbee was working on a worksite in June when he saw a female kitten in a briar bush in Cleveland County.
The kitten went inside Ryan's truck for a ride when Ryan decided to adopt the kitten and she was named Opal who is now a member of the Barbee family.
I applaud the actions of Ryan to rescue the kitten and adopt her so she can live with a loving family in North Carolina.

I am in agreement with you that the kitten was rescued and adopted by the NCDOT employee.
