The cat who was found in a SUV's engine area is recovering just fine. According to the Daily News, the cat, now named Art, is at a Manhattan animal shelter. Animal Care and Control's David Ziegler said that Art had "fleas and badly-matted fur," adding, "He seems pretty calm, like he's not in any pain. But he's mean. He has been growling." The AC&C is holding him for another day to see if an owner turns up; if not, "they will try to place the cat in a home via a rescue program." more ›

Our heart melted when we read how this adorable kitten made its way to the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition:

BARC Shelter's kennel manager, Jose, made an unusual rescue last Saturday afternoon. A man named Richard thinks he has a kitten under the hood of his Chevy Tahoe. He's driving and has his dog Duff in the car with him. Duff doesn't like other dogs and really doesn't like cats. Richard decides to drive to the shelter. No, not the safest solution, but the kitten we call Chevette is safe and sound if a little greasy. She also needs a home and prefers public transportation, in a cat carrier please!
