Every few months, this workplace gets a surprise kitten rescue, but this smol stowaway picked the right car, the right people, and found the perfect forever home: ‘From radiator to lap cat in just one week’

I made a little kangaroo pouch from my jersey, and he immediately curled up and fell asleep, tucking his head in. I told my boss I was heading to the vet and called my boyfriend, who said, “We’re not keeping this one.” Off we went. The vet said he was a boy, slightly underweight, with a gunky eye, but otherwise in good health. He still loved the pouch. I brought him home, set him up in the spare room with a little bed, a fluffy blanket, a toy, and some mousse—which he devoured—and went back to work.

Later, the car owner messaged me. Her landlady, who has two cats and had been thinking about adopting a third, was interested. She works from home, has a spacious house, and wanted a companion for her younger cat. She instantly fell in love. Since the kitten was safe to be around vaccinated cats, she picked him up right away. She set him up with his own room, food, toys, and a cozy basket.

That was a week ago. His name is Lando. He’s already playing, eating like a champ, and being the lovable little lap cat we knew he was from day one. He sleeps in his new mom’s bed and follows her around like he was always meant to be there. He chose that car. He climbed into that engine. And he found his perfect family.
