Tinker is still enough of a kitten that her purrsonality, like her body, is still under construction. She hitched a ride into town (unbeknownst to the driver) underneath the hood of a car and ended up at an auto mechanic’s shop.

Usually this cat-under-the hood behavior occurs in cold weather when cats are drawn to the warmth of the engine. Fortunately, Tinker’s feet and tail didn’t tangle with the fan blade. Some cats are not so lucky.

Upon rescue, Tinker was dehydrated and very hungry. She also had an infection in both her eyes. She is now healthy and ready for a forever home.

Tinker is a playin’ machine! She especially enoys racing around with her buddy, Frankie. Tinker is fine with children and other animals. Her caregiver describes her as an exemplary kitten.

Tinker likes—playtime; the tails of other cats; hugs; soccer; cuddling

She dislikes—restraint
