Fortunately, its concerned owner heard its faint meows and rushed to the Tshwane SPCA for help, where the rescue team carefully freed the frightened feline.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Tshwane, South Africa (20 November 2024)<\/em> &#8211; Well, I\u2019ve heard of snakes and spanners getting stuck in engines, but kittens? Never! Not until recently.<\/p>\n<p>Curiosity may have been said to \u201ckill the cat\u201d, but in this instance, it got one little chap stuck in a car\u2019s engine. Thankfully, the attentive owner of the vehicle heard the kitten&#8217;s cries and meows before starting the car and going about his day.<\/p>\n<p>Concerned for the little one\u2019s safety, he quickly sought help from the Tshwane SPCA.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u201cInspector Andrew Kekana quickly jacked up the car while our General Manager, Veronica van Greunen, crawled underneath to locate the kitten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u201cField Officer Solly Skhosana joined in, and together they began the delicate task of finding and rescuing the frightened furball. The kitten, understandably terrified, wasn&#8217;t exactly cooperative and put our skills to the test,\u201d Tshwane SPCA said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After much sweat and strategy, the dedicated animal rescue team eventually managed to bring the poor, shaken kitten out to safety.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-137567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tshwane-spca-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tshwane-spca-1.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tshwane-spca-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tshwane-spca-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodthingsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tshwane-spca-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a thorough check-up, some much-needed food, and water, he\u2019s now doing great and will soon be ready for adoption.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in giving this little adventurer a forever home, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/TshwaneSPCA\/posts\/974035498100294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tshwane SPCA<\/a> to meet him and complete the necessary paperwork.
