A tiny kitten found herself stuck in a car wheel until help arrived. Overnight, her life was completely changed.

About two weeks ago, a Good Samaritan heard the faint cries of a cat and eventually traced them to a silver BMW.
They could hear the sound coming from the car’s wheel, but couldn’t see anything until a pair of eyes shone in the darkness, gazing back at them. To their surprise, a kitten was in quite the predicament, completely wedged in the wheel and barely able to move.
A volunteer with the Stray Cat Club (a local rescue group) sprang into action.

In order to reach the kitten and safely retrieve her, they had to crawl and squeeze underneath the vehicle.
With some nimble maneuvering, they got the kitten and carefully brought her to safety. The little tuxedo was utterly exhausted after the whole ordeal. They had no idea how long she’d been stuck there, but she was finally free.

Nestled safely in her carrier, she was all tuckered out and drifted off into a well-earned sleep.
She was weak from hunger, exhaustion, and dehydration, but once she received fluids and nourishing food, she quickly perked up. A foster volunteer opened their home to the kitten, offering a cozy place for her to rest and heal.

Before long, she settled right into her new space, happily curling up with her caregivers and sinking into their blankets.
After two weeks of searching, no one came to claim the sweet tuxedo. According to the neighbors, she had likely been abandoned. Though her beginnings were rough, she was now on a path to a life filled with love.
Her adorable personality started to shine throughThe Stray Cat Club
The rescue lovingly named her Owlet, a fitting choice given her big, bright eyes and round face that resemble a baby owl. It wasn’t long before Owlet came out of her shell, showing that her personality was every bit as endearing as her adorable looks.
Grateful for her foster family, she takes every chance to snuggle up with them, filling their home with her soothing purrs.
She loves snuggling with peopleThe Stray Cat Club
She’s a calm and affectionate little soul who adores cuddling with people of all ages. At 12 weeks old, she’s full of boisterous kitten energy, but it’s her sweet, serene demeanor that truly sets her apart.
“She’s still got that quiet, gentle spirit—just with more confidence and curiosity now.”

With no more worries and no need to hide, she has blossomed into a charming little mischief-maker, bringing joy and endless laughter to everyone around her.
She loves zipping around, scaling furniture, and showing off her best owl impressions. Once she wears herself out, she nestles beside her humans to recharge for the next play session. She’s at her happiest being the center of attention, the star of the show.
