Local kitten rescue gives troopers more than they bargained for
MCDONALD, Ohio (WKBN) – Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers had their hands full last Wednesday after they were called to deal with an injured kitten.

Troopers from the Warren post were on their way home when they came upon a vehicle next to a kitten in the roadway in the village of McDonald. A woman told troopers that she believed the kitten had been hit, and troopers believed that its back legs were broken, though it ran away quickly toward their cruiser on its front legs.
The kitten then decided to hitch a ride — hiding underneath the car, in the back wheel area.
“Dude, I don’t know what to do. We gotta get it; I can’t even drive now,” said the trooper as the other trooper laughed.
The troopers attempted to free the kitten unsuccessfully for an hour and even had the McDonald Fire Department assist them.
The two discussed taking off the back wheel, but the kitten scurried out and was captured.
Healthy Hearts and Paws Project took the kitten to the shelter to receive medical care.
