A Miracle under the bonnet as a Kitten dubbed ‘Mr Biscuits’ survives a horrific car journey in a sweltering hot engine for two hours

The eight to ten-month-old feline, named Mr Biscuits, crawled into the engine so stay warm due to extreme cold outside. The cat was stuck inside the blistering hot car engine for two hours after the driver set off. But miraculously, this adorable kitten has survived with 25 per cent severe burns to his body.

The car’s owner set off for work in East Falls, Philadelphia, and the kitten became trapped inside the increasingly hot machine. When the owner wanted to shift to second gear, he couldn’t do it properly and couldn’t work out why the steering was not functioning. To his amusement he found a cat under the bonnet and after spotting his helpless passenger, he tried to get the cat out. It took two hours to free Mr Biscuits from the dangerously hot engine.

The rescuers then quickly took the kitten to Metropolitan Veterinary Associates, where an off-duty veterinarian, experienced in treating burned animals, turned up in her pajamas to help the poor victim. The veterinarian found that Mr Biscuits had burns covering a quarter of his body, including a gaping hole in his back that suggested he may have caught fire during the drive.

A charity named The Grannie Project is currently looking after the cat. The kitten is currently in a stable condition after undergoing surgery and a thoroughly cleaning of his wounds.The Grannie Project is appealing for fundraisers to help pay for Mr Biscuit’s treatment, which is currently costing around $750 per day.
