Man learns casino losses not deductible
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 20 (UPI) -- A kitten in Florida that survived a 75-mile journey in the engine compartment of a truck has been adopted, its rescuer says.
The truck left Fort Lauderdale last week, and the small red tiger kitten was discovered under the hood in Stuart, 75 miles to the north, TCPalm.com reported.
Rescuer Christy Jenkins and Wendy, the kitten named for the fast food restaurant where it was discovered, were the subjects of a news story which included an e-mail address for anyone interested in adoption.
Jenkins, who was unable to keep the kitten due to pet restrictions where she lives, says she screened about 30 respondents before choosing a new home for Wendy.
"I wanted someone who could devote all their love to the little kitten," Jenkins said.
"And I have visitation rights," she added.
Wendy seems to be adjusting well to his new home, Jenkins said.
And yes, Wendy is a boy cat.
