Tiny Kitten Rescued from Engine Block


Every winter, animals shelters across Canada warn that stray cats and kittens seek heat where they can find it, including under the hoods of vehicles, where they attempt to warm themselves with heat from the engines. Desperate situations call for desperate measures, after all!

Many cats are severely injured this way every winter. However, lucky for this adorable little calico kitten, she was rescued before any damage was done. The other day, she hopped out of the engine compartment of a vehicle awaiting repair at the local garage in Balgonie, surprising the heck out of the staff !

She was thin and hungry, but otherwise sound and is now in foster care and will be listed for adoption.

Try to remember to give the hood of your car a tap if it's been parked for a while - you never know if there will be a little cat in there trying to warm up!
