An 8-week-old kitten is safe at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus after being rescued from the frame of a truck. Humane law enforcement received a call from the truck’s driver on Monday afternoon. The driver said he heard meowing at a stop sign while on the road between Carlsbad and Escondido. When he came home, he was able to identify where the sound was coming from — there was a black and white kitten with her jaw stuck tightly in a hole in the frame of the vehicle. A veterinary team deployed to meet the humane officers in the field near SR-78 and Centre City Parkway in Escondido. They sedated the kitten and worked with Q-tips to patiently dislodge her head. Luckily, they were able to free the kitten so she could be taken for care. She received pain medication, fluids, antibiotics, warming and a good meal. — NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? Hi!
