MCDONALD, Ohio (WKBN) – Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers had their hands full last Wednesday after they were called to deal with an injured kitten.
The kitten was found in the roadway in the village of McDonald. A woman told troopers that she believed the kitten had been hit, and troopers believed that its back legs were broken, though it ran away quickly toward their cruiser on its front legs.
The kitten then decided to hitch a ride — hiding underneath the car, in the back wheel area.
“Dude, I don’t know what to do. We gotta get it; I can’t even drive now,” said the trooper as the other trooper laughed.
The two discussed taking off the back wheel, but the kitten scurried out and was captured.
Healthy Hearts and Paws Project took the kitten to the shelter, and a woman at the scene agreed to foster the cat.
