Multiple Police-Rescued Kittens Found Trapped in Vehicle Engines Across US and UK

Several incidents across the U.S. and the UK highlight the risks kittens face seeking warmth in vehicles during colder weather. In Euclid, Ohio, Officer Marcus Wolk rescued a tiny kitten that had taken refuge under a car hood, reminding drivers to check under their engines as animals seek heat. In Jackson, Mississippi, a kitten named Roadie suffered severe injuries, including the loss of his tail, after being trapped under a car fan belt but is now recovering with a new owner. In Devon, UK, a two-day-old kitten was found deep inside the wheel arch of a police vehicle; local mechanics helped safely extract and rescue the kitten, who was adopted by a local officer. These stories underscore the importance of checking vehicles before driving in cold weather to prevent harm to animals seeking shelter. Police and animal rescue groups continue to raise awareness about this seasonal hazard.
