A small kitten who fled from animal control officials ran into some real trouble when the kitten was trapped inside of a wheel of a truck in Lawrence Massachusetts last Friday afternoon when neighbors reported seeing a family of 4-week-old kittens running in the streets of the city. While the Lawrence Animal Control Officers were able to pick up from the majority of the stray kittens and take them inside of their vehicle so they could be taken to an animal shelter to be placed up for adoption, one kitten who began to cry for help caught the attention of the animal control officers who to safety. managed to remove the kitten from the truck wheel to safety. The stray kitten was taken by the Massachusetts Society For The Prevention and Cruelty To Animals (MSPCA) in Methuen at a facility called Nevins Farm where the kitten will have surgery for a leg injury. The best hope that the stray kitten that was saved from his trap in the wheel of a truck will be placed up for adoption where a loving family will have a chance to share their love with a small kitten. How many kittens were on the street at the time when the animal officers picked them up from the streets is not known.

@celticeagle You are right. Kittens have feelings as well as human.

I am sure that the kitten will find a loving home soon as he has his operation on his injured leg.

@RubyHawk I don't think any loving family who wants to adopt a cat wants to adopt an injured cat.

He's making himself quite comfortable, but I know the kittens glad to get out of the wheel. Not sure how the driver would have gotten him out.

That is a good question how he or she would be able to get the kitten out of the wheel trap since I am sure that the kitten like you mentioned was trying to find a place to hide while fleeing from the animal control officers.

Poor kitten. I hope his leg can be repaired so that he will be OK to run and play.

I feel bad for the kitten myself since I also hope that the operation is successful so that the kitten will be adopted by a loving family soon.

Cats and kittens often hide inside the wheels and wheel wells of vehicles. It's just a sad fact. A few years ago, a kitten fell out of a wheel well on a street close to me. The car behind it couldn't stop in time and ran over it. The lady was a friend of mine, she was very upset that she killed the kitten, even though it was not her fault or the other drivers' as no one knew the kitten was even in there, or who it belonged to.

It is tragic to see firsthand a small kitten die on a street by accident.

@MarieCoyle My relatives were witnesses when a small cat was killed by a motorist near our home recently.

@Deepizzaguy It's tragic to see any animal, as well as people, die on a roadway.
