A cat was rescued from a car engine in Centurion, South Africa, after being trapped for several hours. The rescue operation, led by Hermien Grobler from the South African Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, involved disassembling parts of the engine to free the terrified animal.
A cat was rescued last night after being trapped inside a car engine at Amberfield Crest Estate in Centurion .
Grobler said when she arrived at the scene with her partner, they found the bonnet of the car open, with the cat wedged at the back of the engine near the firewall.She said they even tried wetting the cat with a hosepipe in hopes that it would exit the confined area, but it remained stuck. She said the CPF members managed to disassemble parts of the engine instead of the entire unit, and after sufficient space was created, they successfully retrieved the cat.“We suspect the cat was scared of fireworks and got inside the engine to hide.
She said they were cautious to avoid injuring the cat, as they were uncertain whether it had any pre-existing injuries.
