In Dungarvan, Co. Waterford two kind hearted women tried for several hours to rescue this tiny, 5 week old kitten from the bonnet of a car. He was so terrified that every attempt only caused him to retreat further into the engine.
NSPCA Inspector Alice arrived armed with tasty cat food to lure him out. After several unsuccessful attempts she placed her phone underneath the car and played a YouTube video of a mother cat calling her kittens.
A few minutes later, he peeked his tiny head out from beneath the under carriage answering the calls and started to make his way towards the phone. As soon as his tiny paws touched the ground, Inspector Alice grabbed him before he was ready to bolt once again.
The little kitten is now safe and although he is without his mother he is loved and will have a home to call his own soon.
Thank you to the two ladies who tried to rescue him and for getting in touch with the NSPCA Waterford for help.
