Firefighters came to the rescue of a furry friend, trapped inside a car in Fort Lauderdale Thursday.
Fire Rescue received a call from a concerned resident who heard "meows" coming from the wheel well of his vehicle.
The caller said he had just driven from Lauderhill to Fort Lauderdale Beach when he got out of the car and heard the muffled meows. Firefighters responded and found a kitten entangled within the suspension arm of the car.
The driver did not have a jack to lift the car so firefighters used their TRT and extrication equipment to lift the vehicle, remove the tire and untangle the kitten.
The animal was removed unharmed but was frightened and covered with dirt and grime from the ride. Firefighters believe the kitten had surfed through some of the wet areas of east Fort Lauderdale during his ride due to the extreme high tides.
There was no identification on the animal so one of the firefighters claimed the kitten to bring home to become part of his family.
