A cat likely used a few of its nine lives making a trip from the East Shore to the West Shore in the engine of a car.

On Tuesday, a Dauphin County man was getting ready to go to work when he heard a cat inside his car.

He popped the hood and tried to get the animal out, but it wouldn’t budge.

Assuming the cat got out on its own, he drove to work, then once again heard the animal.

A veterinarian was called to help rescue the cat now named Turbo.

Turbo suffered a burn on his belly, several cuts, and his ear had to be reconstructed.

His stitches will be removed Wednesday and he will then be available for adoption into a forever family.
