A cat named Pickles missing for more than two years is reunited with its owners after firefighters, together with a concerned family, rescued it from the engine of a car parked in Central Saanich on Saturday.
Capt. Dan Little with Central Saanich Fire says crews were called to the McDonald’s parking lot on Mount Newton Cross around 2:20 p.m. to find the orange tabby cat trapped in the car’s engine compartment.
According to Little, the family then determined the meowing was coming from the car beside theirs, prompting them to crouch down and spot the feline’s tail hanging from the engine. “Our captain contacted police and had them attend, and they ran the plate and discovered who the owner was,” Little said.
“We use an air pump and we pump up a small airbag, and we pump the door open a little bit. Then we have a rod that we stick in and unlock the car by the door,” he said. “It does no damage to the car and we can lock it back up afterwards.” Little’s colleagues were “quite surprised” to learn the cat was missing for as long as it was, following a call that was a first for the fire department.
