OAKDALE, NY — A two-month-old kitten Suffolk County police rescued from the wheel well of a vehicle is on the mend in foster care.
On Oct. 7, police rescued a kitten from a vehicle's wheel well on Sunrise Highway in Oakdale around 7:50 p.m.
Officers brought the kitten— now known as Sunny—to John Debacker, vice president of Long Island Cat/Kitten Solution, a non-profit dedicated to helping feral cats on Long Island.

From there, Sunny went to a veterinarian who found that the kitten was suffering from a broken hind leg and a "minor tail injury."
"The kitten is a boy. He is extremely friendly," Debacker told Patch. "He was probably hit by a car before we got to him. He won't be ready for adoption until his leg heals."
