This is the heartwarming moment an abandoned cat was whisked to safety as she teetered on the barrier of the Hammersmith Flyover - after rescuers believe she was deliberately thrown there from a moving car.

The cat, who has been nicknamed Bridget, appeared to be moments from falling onto the busy road when staff from a nearby estate agent pulled up and coaxed her into their arms. A video shot from their office, overlooking the road, captures the cheers and clapping of colleagues as the trio carry the animal to safety.

Bridget is now recovering at the Blue Cross hospital in Victoria, where she was treated for a grazed, bloodied chin after her ordeal on Wednesday.

Leon Gaskin led the rescue squad, which also included Sara Persad and Breda O'Mahony, and retrieved the cat using a towel and a cardboard box.
