4th Of July Saw The Rescue And Freedom Of A Dehydrated Kitten Trapped In A Car Fender
On a hot Fourth of July in Ionia, Michigan, a tiny kitten turned a routine holiday into a rescue mission. What started as a worried call about crying from inside a vehicle quickly became a race against the heat, the clock, and a trapped animal that could barely move.
Officers from the Ionia Department of Public Safety arrived expecting fireworks-related trouble, but instead found a dehydrated kitten stuck in a car fender. Chris Flanders, Randy Dankenbring, and Mike Cronk worked to free the little cat after hearing it meow from inside the vehicle.
By the time they got it out, the kitten had already been through a lot, and the rest of the story only gets better from there.

The tiny kitten was dehydrated due to the high temperature of 93 degrees that day, and the officers assumed it had been there for hours. The cat appeared to have been in the vehicle for several hours and had traveled an unknown distance, but it seemed to be many miles.
It was disheveled, sluggish, and filthy from being in the wheel well.
