Hope For Paws received a text on their emergency line about a kitten trapped inside a car engine. The woman had been driving around with it unknowingly, but then someone’s Poodle started barking to alert them of the kitty.

Eldad would try to grab the kitten from underneath, but there was no real way to pull it out from there. They set up fencing to secure the area, but there wasn’t enough to wrap all the way around the vehicle, and the cat ran and hid under another car.

They proceeded to check car after car until they finally located the kitten once again. Then they spent several minutes knocking on all of the doors in the neighborhood trying to find the owner of the car for some help. The hood of the car was popped, and there the kitten sat!

The kitty was appropriately named Axle and taken back to the hospital for a bath. Now free from oil and grease, Axle is being fostered at Cat Connection Los Angeles as he waits to find his forever home. 🙂
