As often happens, firefighters came to the rescue of a kitten in trouble; but there’s a twist to this familiar story – the kitten was not stuck up a tree, but thoroughly trapped inside the engine compartment of a car.
The Henderson Fire Department in Kentucky received a call for help at 7 am on June 12th from the Wagner family, who discovered that a kitten had squeezed its way under the hood of their car and couldn’t get out.

Two kind men from Station 3 did not hesitate in packing their tools and, with the help of Mr Wagner, made short work of dismantling the engine compartment to free the adorable grey kitten, who was no worse off for the experience.
Although the Wagner family were happy to care for the adventurous kitten short-term, she was adopted the very next day.
Oh Thank You for being so caring and nice!! Thank you with all my heart! May you receive the blessings you give. (I know you feel blessed to have been able to do what you did and again, thank you so very much!)
Da gusto ver que aun hay gente civilizada!!!! Muchas gracias!!! si el pobre gatillo hablara…también os las daría!!

It might not seem like much but they did a job worthy of firemen thank you for doing a great job
Great story. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP. GOD BLESS YOU
Even in Kentucky, there are some compassionate people. Not that many on earth anymore, but yes some! Thank You Firemen guys! You’re special in my book!
With all the horror we read about animals, it is a blessing that there are loving and caring people who put the Good Stuff out there. A big THANK YOU to everyone involved in the rescue AND re-homing of this tiny life ?
This is a crime that needs punishment
Could have been trying to escape something that scared it and accidentally got inside the engine somehow. Then couldn’t get out. It happens. Not necessarily something done by anyone.
COMMEBedankt voor het redden lieve mannen!!!!!!!!NT
It is lovely to see some kindness towards animals. Well done everyone.
Reading a story like this helps me to breathe again after being aghast at so much cruelty to animals everywhere.
Thanks for helping! God bless!
Happy ending for a very lucky kitty!
It’s so great to read about the lovely kind people that do exist.
I hope the kitten has a long and very happy life with its new guardians.
Thanks! Great that you cared!
Merci beaucoup!!!!!
Thanks to all that helped the kitten. My heros.
Wonderful ending! It could of been worse. Thank you to all you loving people that helped. Bless you!
That kitten was very lucky. Most of them are unnoticed and are killed when the car is cranked again. I am very happy for the kitten and I am very proud of the people who saved it. The kitten can’t say thank you, so I’m saying it for it. Thank you for saving this precious animal.
Now these are human beings
I have noticed, that people, who help even the smallest animals have so beautyful nature &heart, and so it reflects also their faces. They have the most beatyful appreance too.
That is SO true!
I believe that’s why there’s that saying … “You can’t fool children or animals”.
Eyes truly are the windows to our souls.
Heray 4 the Fire Dept. Here in WA. State they won’t help with kitty’s. So it’s nice 2 know there r some that still do. So glad the kitten wasn’t harmed!
Blessings to ALL for your kindness and saving this wonderful little kitty.
YOU’RE THEORY BEST!!! ??
Blessings to ALL for your kindness and saving this sweet kitty.
You’re the best!!!
They are the best!
