It is the kind of incredible story we all love to read. While driving a long journey of nearly 800 miles, an American student had absolutely no idea he was not travelling alone.
Tucked away under the car’s chassis, a young stray kitten clung on for the entire trip, braving the speed, engine heat, noise and wind of the motorway.
A shocking discovery at the end of the road
It was only when he reached his destination that the young driver discovered the tiny stowaway.
Shocked by the find and knowing how fragile the kitten was, local emergency services and animal rescue specialists were quickly called to the scene. After several minutes of delicate manoeuvring to get him out safely, the little stowaway was finally freed from his mechanical prison.
A miraculous outcome
Rushed to a local vet for an emergency check-up, the little creature miraculously had no serious injuries, despite suffering from dehydration and intense stress during those long hours on the road.
