Tiny kitten found hiding in wheel arch of car at Glasgow garage

A kitten was found in the wheel arch of a car at a Glasgow garage.

A mechanic at Kwit-Fit on Pollokshaws Road was fixing a puncture when he came across the 12-week-old animal on August 31.

The car belonged to a member of the public who lives near the garage.

The kitten is black with a white patch on its chest, and has no microchip.

It had no injuries and is now in the care of the Scottish SCPA’s Lanarkshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre.

The animal welfare charity have now issued an appeal for the owners of the kitten to come forward.

Scottish SPCA animal rescue officer, Amy Stirton, said “We safely removed the kitten from the car wheel arch.

“We’re not sure how it came to be there, but the owner of the car lives around 500 yards from the Kwik-Fit garage, so it is most likely from the Pollokshaws area.

“The poor thing is only around 12 weeks old.

“It is black with a white patch on its chest, and has no microchip.

“We are keen to trace the owner as soon as possible. If anyone recognises this animal, please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
