My husband Bruce left the shop Monday morning business as usual. He drove about four or five miles to a job site on Lake Gage and returned to the shop for some materials. Upon exiting his truck he thought he heard a slight mewing but could not locate the source. He got his materials and headed to Lake James Estates another four or so mile trip. This time when he got out of the truck the mewing was unmistakable and coming from the engine compartment.
Fearing the worst he and our worker Gary gingerly popped the hood. Much to their relief and surprise a small orange kitty lay curled up on top of the air cleaner. Gary reached for it and ended up chasing it through the engine and out over axle where he caught it for a brief moment before Mr. Lucky kitten scratched him and Gary dropped him. They spent a few minutes trying to rescue the little dickens but had to eventually return to work empty handed.
Enter our Lake James customers who upon hearing the story vowed to attempt capture once all the commotion settled down. A few hours later with coaxing from food the kitty was caught in a raccoon trap. The kitty quickly became calm and turned on his motor when loving hands stroked him. Because they already have pets they are unable to keep the kitten but have taken it to the vet who declared it perfectly healthy.
Coincidentally our book keeper Bonnie suddenly just lost one of her cats and may have room in her home and heart for this little doll, if not he may be up for adoption.
