Meet Lexus. Rescued him from the engine bay after 12 hours stuck in sweltering heat.
Neighbor’s kids came to my house at 6:30am telling me there was a cat trapped in a nearby car. They ride their bikes in front of my house and know I care for the neighborhood colony.
The car owner came out and we tried for an hour to coax him out, but he was shaking pretty bad and really scared. I had to leave for work at 8, and luckily the car owner had a second car to take to work. I left some food under the car and planned to try to find him again after work.
4:00pm I went back to the car, played some momma cat sounds on my phone, and he started crying - he was still inside. He’d moved to inside the front bumper and seemed cornered in there. He wouldn’t budge while cars buzzed the street on the way home from work. After about 5 hours, I was finally able to coax him out.
Vet says he’s probably 4-5 weeks, and other than some dust and fleas seems perfectly healthy. We’re going to care for him until he gets his shots and then try to find him a good home (we already have 5 in the house).
