Rob Howard is a service tech at Knight Automotive in Plattsburgh. A regular customer brought in her GMC Sierra pickup truck to be serviced, but this was not normal engine trouble. Howard popped the hood of the truck and found a cat sitting in the car’s engine.
“It was kind of a little bit scared so it was meowing and hissing at me. At that point it jumped down to the skid shield underneath the fan,” Howard said.
Howard immediately tried rescuing the scared kitten.
Meet Walker the rescue cat. When he’s just a tiny ball of fluff, around 4 weeks old, he was already left to fend for himself in the streets. It’s unknown where he came from, but luckily a kind woman saw him sheltering under a car in downtown LA.
He had no mom or any siblings with him, covered in dirt and ridden with fleas. He was too young and had a little chance of survival.
He was taken in by the kind woman and nursed him back to health. She was also able to find little Walker a human dad who will love and spoil him. His human dad continued to bottle fed him and with the help of his friends with experience in saving stray cats and a great vet, his fur baby pulled through.
