‘Tiny but mighty kitten’ rescued from BMW engine needs a home. Meet Beemer
A “playful” kitten was found in a car engine — and now, she waits for a new home.
“Meet Beemer, a tiny but mighty kitten with a big heart and even bigger speed,” a North Carolina animal shelter wrote July 7 on Facebook. “Rescued from the engine of a BMW, this little survivor quickly traded car parts for couch cuddles.”
Beemer, whose name is commonly used to refer to BMW vehicles, is up for adoption after she landed at Burlington Animal Services in June. The person who brought her to the facility is now caring for her in a foster home, the shelter wrote in an online adoption profile and in an email to McClatchy News.
“Beemer may be little, but she’s full of life, love, and the funniest habits,” the shelter wrote. “Her foster mom even calls her ‘Bullet’ because she zooms like one.”
The kitten, believed to be about 8 weeks old, is described as friendly and “playful.” In foster care, she enjoys soaking up affection and showing off her energetic side.
“She’s smart, sweet, and already litterbox trained (a total star student),” the shelter wrote. “Her favorite hobbies? Sprinting around the house at full speed, napping beside her Husky foster sibling, and getting burrito-wrapped for bedtime snuggles.”
As of July 8, Beemer still was in need of a new owner. Anyone interested in meeting her is asked to email the shelter at fosterpets@burlingtonnc.gov.
Burlington is a roughly 20-mile drive east from Greensboro.
Parts of the region were hit with flash flooding and tornadoes from the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal, which made landfall in South Carolina on July 6, The News & Observer reported. After the storm and Fourth of July fireworks, Burlington Animal Services in a Facebook post said it has been “bursting at the seams” with missing pets.
