A newborn kitten hitched an unplanned ride inside a vehicle's engine bay across 76 miles of Texas Hill Country, and a team of hospital workers, animal control, and a local rescue group pulled together to save it. A Peterson Health employee drove from Rocksprings, Texas, to Kerrville for a regular shift and had no idea a tiny passenger was tucked inside the engine compartment. When the worker arrived at the hospital and popped the hood, the kitten was still alive, wedged somewhere behind the front grille after roughly an hour and a half of highway driving across open ranchland. The City of Kerrville posted about the discovery on its official Facebook page, and the story spread fast. A Kerrville animal control officer and personnel from…Open

Vanessa Antonino finally saw her dog Flor again this week, 12 years after Flor vanished from Chicago, an outcome that highlights the power of persistence, volunteers, and simple precautions in reuniting lost pets with their families. Flor’s disappearance was the kind most pet owners dread and few ever resolve.

In the years that followed, she moved from place to place, sometimes living in her car, and never fully let go of hope. “There was a time in my life when I wasn’t put together. I was from place to…Open

A house cat named Ginge vanished from his owner's home in Sunderland, England, and was found almost a year later living among a feral colony 86 miles away in Leeds, rescued only because a volunteer noticed he was too friendly to be a stray. Lucy Roche, a volunteer branch leader for the charity Cat Action Trust 1977, was making her regular rounds feeding feral cats in Garforth, a town outside Leeds, when one animal in the colony caught her attention. The cat rubbed against her, purred, and let her pet him, behavior that set him apart from the wary ferals she usually encounters. Roche brought the cat to a local veterinarian, where a microchip scan revealed his name was Ginge and his owner, a woman named Beth, lived more than 86 miles north…Open

ACS said in a news release that the calf "quickly hoofed it underground into a large drainage tunnel" before stopping to rest inside. Animal care officers eventually removed the calf…Open
