Cross-country drive on 2 gallons of gas
ULSTER, Pa., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Animal authorities in Pennsylvania said a 5-week-old kitten rode to the state from New York behind the grill of a car.
Jenna Arsenault, community coordinator for the Bradford County Humane Society, said the people inside the car did not hear or see the kitten until after their 130-mile drive from Rochester, N.Y., to Ulster, Pa., the Elmira (N.Y.) Star-Gazette reported Wednesday.
"It took more than 45 minutes just to get the grill off the Mazda before they could reach the kitten," Arsenault wrote in an e-mail message. "Once the kitten was removed from the car, he was immediately given water and a cool place to rest while they contacted BCHS to help figure out the best course of action."
Arsenault said the kitten, named Mazda in honor of the vehicle he hitched a ride with, is recovering from his ordeal at the shelter.
