A tiny kitten found itself in a perilous predicament, trapped inside a car engine. Fortunately, its concerned owner heard its faint meows and rushed to the Tshwane SPCA for help, where the rescue team carefully freed the frightened feline.
Tshwane, South Africa (20 November 2024) – Well, I’ve heard of snakes and spanners getting stuck in engines, but kittens? Never! Not until recently.
Curiosity may have been said to “kill the cat”, but in this instance, it got one little chap stuck in a car’s engine. Thankfully, the attentive owner of the vehicle heard the kitten’s cries and meows before starting the car and going about his day.
Concerned for the little one’s safety, he quickly sought help from the Tshwane SPCA.
“Inspector Andrew Kekana quickly jacked up the car while our General Manager, Veronica van Greunen, crawled underneath to locate the kitten.
“Field Officer Solly Skhosana joined in, and together they began the delicate task of finding and rescuing the frightened furball. The kitten, understandably terrified, wasn’t exactly cooperative and put our skills to the test,” Tshwane SPCA said.
After much sweat and strategy, the dedicated animal rescue team eventually managed to bring the poor, shaken kitten out to safety.
After a thorough check-up, some much-needed food, and water, he’s now doing great and will soon be ready for adoption.
If you’re interested in giving this little adventurer a forever home, visit the Tshwane SPCA to meet him and complete the necessary paperwork. Alternatively, you can support his care through donations, using the reference “Kitten Rescue” on their Donations Page.
