A kitten found itself stuck in the wheel well of a vehicle in Virginia and wound up travelling more than 70 kilometres before being rescued.
Firefighters rescued the tabby kitten at a body shop in Petersburg, Va. The driver of the vehicle had driven to the shop from Capron, Va., roughly 72 kilometers away.
Video of the incident shows a man prying the wheel well open while a woman reaches for the kitten. The cat was not injured during the ordeal.
A social media post from Petersburg Animal Care and Control indicates a mechanic at the body shop, named Chuck, adopted the kitten “on the spot.”
“He is a long-time cat lover,” the post reads. “They bonded instantly.”
