This two-week-old kitten was stuck in the undercarriage of STOMPer Francis Nai's car for one whole day and was rescued after the owner dismantled part of his car.
The 42-year-old businessman had a fright when his friend told him that 'something' was dangling from under his car on 18 June.
Earlier, he had parked his car in Serangoon Central.
Mr Nai and his friend checked the car but did not find anything. It was only after he heard a mew that he realised a cat could have been stuck in it.
He said he went to a mechanic immediately. Both searched for the kitten, but it seemed to have disappeared. The next morning, while the STOMPer was starting his car, he heard the kitten again. He said: "Confirm there's a cat! I went to the mechanic again, and this time we dismantled parts of the undercarriage."
They finally found the kitten, and Mr Nai quickly brought it to a vet. "It's just a little kitten! The vet told us that it's only 2 weeks old," said the STOMPer.
"I don't know how it got there, but I suspect the mother hid it in my car thinking it's a safe place for her kitten." Since it is quite impossible to return the kitten to its mother, Mr Nai and his family decided to keep it as a pet.
"I'm just glad that it survived because the car engine can be very hot. I hope keeping it will bring me some good luck," he said with a laugh. |
