Astonishingly, a tiny kitten survived a 45-mile trip in the fender of a minivan. The driver, Eunika Brown, had no clue when she started the engine and drove off that she was carrying the tiny passenger.

Brown reports, “I had no idea she was there until going out to leave for lunch…”
Following the kitten’s discovery, it was soon freed from the vehicle by the manager of a tire shop and then swiftly adopted by Chuck Williams, a fellow employee.
Brown had driven from Capron, Va., to Petersburg, where the rescue ensued.
Warren Strum, the manager of Leete Tire & Auto’s services’, acted quickly and pulled the “scared but unharmed” kitten from the car.
“Miraculously this cat survived with no injuries,” say’s Animal Care and Control.
Williams, the tire shop worker, “adopted [the kitten] on the spot and is taking it to the vet,” according to Animal Care and Control, who since posted on Facebook that Chuck “is a long time cat lover, they bonded instantly!“
Animal Care and Control ended its post with the hashtag, “#APurrfectEnding” while Leete Tire & Auto posted, “Never a dull day!”
The relieved and astonished driver was thankful for the kitten’s wellbeing despite such a long journey trapped in the car and “is grateful that she didn’t get hurt, and also happy that she was able to find a good home…”
Brown adds, “You guys are awesome!”
To which the auto center replied:
“Kudos to you ma’am for acting quickly and calling the authorities before this sweet little girl was injured and thank you for trusting us with your vehicle too!”
Commendable responses from all linvolved! The hero of the day is Chuck Williams, for extending his love and home to this new and enchanting beauty in his life.
If I lived in Petersburg, I would have my car serviced at Leete Tire and Auto Center, knowing that good people who care work there.
How great – a new best friend bond is born.
Thank you to All involved!
Chuck Williams and kitten were ment to be together. They have exactly the same charming Smile and cute, friendly eyes !

I am so glad the little kitten was unharmed and adopted.
Is there anything more attractive than a man rescuing and holding an animal, especially a kitten?
