In an angry, sad and sentimental Facebook post, Chuck Hawley said he was driving and noticed the cars ahead were driving over a black lump.

"It's going between their tires, so I'm guessing it's a box."

As he neared it, he realized, "It's a kitten just sitting upright shaking like a leaf. And some a–hole had spread glue on its paws and stuck it to the road."

Hawley expressed disbelief after seeing cars just driving by.

"No one stopped. What the … people?"

Hawley says he got out and stopped traffic and peeled the tiny creature from the pavement. There was glue on its paws, neck and tail. Later, a veterinarian told a local TV station it was done intentionally.

"People were honking and all pissy… really? It's a kitten glued to the road!"

Hawley posted a selfie of himself and the kitty on his Facebook page.

He wrote that it took some Goo Gone, some food and cream and "we have a new kitten. Luckiest kitten in the world!"

Hawley's story has gone viral, drawing likes, shares, even news crews from local TV stations.

He and his wife decided to name the kitten, "Sticky."
