Then, the car witness adopted the animal.<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff\u2019s office explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe cats were not immediately found and Ruiz was released. The Sheriff\u2019s Office continued to search for the kittens.\u00a0Later on Nov. 28, one kitten was found dead by the Sheriff\u2019s Office after apparently being struck by a vehicle. A second nearby kitten ran into the woods and out of sight, but was later found by a Rain Barrel Village employee and taken to Whiskers &amp; Paws in Key Largo with non-life-threatening injuries.
