ROCKAWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Curiosity didn't kill the cat.

[Guest guest]

But a kitten got stuck behind the dashboard of a woman's SUV after

climbing through a hole in the glove compartment.

 

The woman went to the Rockaway Township Municipal Building for help

after food wouldn't lure the tabby out.

 

Rockaway Township animal control officer Dan McDonald and veterinarian

Steven Hodes tried to grab the cat. But the frightened animal just

crawled deeper into the dash.

 

The vet managed to inject the kitten with an anesthesia and they

pulled the drowsy feline out unharmed without having to dismantle the

dashboard.

 

McDonald said the woman has a friend who might adopt the kitten.
