NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. β The saying goes, cats have nine lives, and that may be the case for a kitten after it was found in an unlikely place.
The Niagara SPCA shared on social media on Tuesday, that a kitten was found in the engine of a car.
The shelter said as the weather changes and we had into the winter months, both domestic and wild animals tend to seek shelter wherever they can, and in this case it was inside a car.
The Niagara SPCA said when the car was turned on, the kitten was sucked up by the serpentine belt and lodged between the belt and a pulley.
Thankfully, a mechanic who was taking the car apart was able to rescue the kitten, whose leg was badly damaged.
The animal is now being treated at a veterinary hospital.
