CARMICHAEL (CBS13) – A vehicle in Carmichael won’t purr like it used to, that is, after a cat was removed from the engine compartment Monday.
When the vehicle’s owner started the engine this morning, he said he heard a strange noise coming from inside the engine compartment, according to Sacramento Metropolitan Fire Assistant Chief Scott Cockrum. He opened the hood and found a cat entangled in the belts of the motor.
The man called 9-1-1, and when firefighters arrived, they had to cut the engine belts to get the cat out.
Firefighters took the badly injured feline to the Sacramento Cat Hospital where it received a life-saving operation.
If the surgery is successful, the cat, now known as Blaze, will be ready for adoption in about two weeks.

it was my room mates car. i have pictures of the cat in the motor and the firefighters working to get them out. they were some amazing fire fighters. I am very surprised that blaze survived. That cat is a fighter.
Glad to hear the cat survived!
This was our friends car and we bought cried at the possibility that the poor kitty wouldnt be able to survive. I found this and was super excited def a fighter with a strong will to live. The fire fighters were amazingly quick and efficient to save this kitty.. Glad to hear the Blaze was saved.
Are one of those firefighters up for adoption too? 😉
That is one lucky kitty.
good job guys. The cat looks unscathed.
This happened to my cat. He got a cut across his nose and a leg was broken. He had surgery and had drains put in. He healed and walked with a limp. He lived for several years and died at 18 years.
Blaze made it through her first night, which is always the most critical after a traumatic injury. She’s eating great and doing well at the Sacramento Cat Hospital!
that’s so awesome. im glad i called the fire fighters when i did. Hats off to all of you. They did an awesome job on scene and were really nice and polite
