A truck driver came across a kitten stuck inside a hole in the frame of his vehicle after hearing meowing sounds at a stop sign while on the road. 

An 8-week-old kitten is safe and sound after being rescued from the frame of a truck.

The rescue mission occurred after the San Diego Humane Society received a call on Monday afternoon from a truck driver who heard meowing sounds at a stop sign while on the road. The sounds were coming from a black and white kitten found stuck in a hole in the frame of the vehicle.

A veterinary team promptly arrived at the scene and worked alongside our Humane Officers to safely extract the kitten. The kitten was  sedated and the team patiently used Q-tips to dislodge her head and free her from the tight spot. The kitten was transported to our Escondido Campus for additional care, including pain medication, fluids, antibiotics, and a good meal.
