This past Friday, a sign crew from our TxDOT Brownsville Maintenance Section rescued a cat from a center barrier along I-69E, near the Boca Chica exit.

Oscar Pantoja De la Garza, a new employee, spotted the animal clinging to a sign base, in between fast-moving expressway traffic.
Fortunately, Oscar was able to remove the fearful feline from the center barrier and then reached out to a local animal rescue group to foster it.
Oscar loves animals and shares that caring for a pet can help children grow up more secure and active and can provide valuable companionship for older adults.
