The owner of the auto called 911 for assistance to get the kitten out of the car engine compartment when the Lincoln County Fire Company who sent firefighters who received permission from the owner of the auto to remove multiple pieces of the under carriage when they were able to free the kitten. The firefighters suggested that the kitten be named Lincoln. To make matters even sweeter when the word got out about the kitten being rescued by the firefighters. a neighbor made an offer to adopt Lincoln.

That's the thing about animals. They like to enter car's insides like that engine, or below the car. I don't know what do they do that.

I guess animals like to enter inside engines of auto to keep warm from cold weather and rainy weather.

@Deepizzaguy I see.... then what about on sunny days? Most cats and dogs in my area will go to our car below to hide from the sun too.
