As authorities attempted to rescue the kitten from the truck tires, they found that the little critter had gotten her claws stuck on something. Eventually, they had to take off one of the tires in order to reach the small animal. Once they managed to get hold of the kitty, they quickly placed her in a cardboard box to keep her safe. UPI tells us that the Portage Animal Protection League took over from there.

You can actually watch a video of this kitten getting rescued from in between the truck tires on social media! The Ohio State Patrol’s Northeast office shared some very wholesome footage of the recovery mission.

“Watch this meow-velous rescue of a kitten stuck in a semi’s wheel well,” they wrote in their caption. “This seemingly im-paw-sible rescue mission had a happy ending…thanks to the purrfect teamwork by all on scene!”

After the kitten had been safely apprehended, one member of the rescue team pointed out how lucky it was that the truck driver had inspected the vehicle.

“Thankfully, you found her before you drove off,” the woman said.

Smiling, the truck driver joked that this occasion was “proof” that he always peformed his customary inspection before driving.

Commenters on social media were relieved to find out that the kitten was safe and sound.

“I’m so glad there was a happy outcome,” wrote one user. “Thank you to everyone for being so kind to the frightened kitten.”

Another added, “Thank goodness for the safety walk around!”

This kitty must have been so scared and confused! We’re glad that the rescue team was able to get her to safety.
