I had this happen in 2019, when a stray kitten I'd seen around my house ended up traveling to work with me in the undercarriage of my car. This involved a 20 minute freeway drive to another city where I worked. After a co-worker spotted the cat during the lunch hour, the whole office came out to try and get the cat but with no success. I called the SPCA, who is only 3 miles away but they told me to contact the fire dept. The fire dept said to contact the police dept. The police dept said to contact the SPCA. After work, I ended up renting a car, going back home to get a small rodent live-trap I had, and some tuna. When I returned it took me three hours to catch the kitten, who has now lived with me for four years. I no longer donate to the Monterey SPCA and have little respect for the local fire and police. So much for public service.

Wait, we need more to this story! Poor little guy was exhausted and traumatized. I hope he's warm and fat and bouncing now.

Awwww poor little squeeker! I'm glad that he/she is safe & ok. I hope that this little cutie finds a furever family that will spoil them rotten. 😻

He looks like my Tullie. Sweet little tuxedo!

My local new center said that the kitten was sedated before being freed so that's it looks so bad when it was rescued. It seems more awake in the later clip of the video.

Good to see a woman underneath the vehicle trying to save this kitten.
