Blind Kitten Missing With Stolen Car

The Associated Press brings the heartbreaking tale of a stolen car taken from near 10th and S Streets NW on Wednesday with a blind kitten inside that needs medical attention.

Two employees from Homeward Trails Animal Rescue were getting ready to take two foster animals to the vet -- a dog, and Wonder, a kitten born without eyes. They said they were standing outside the car at about 4 p.m. for just a few moments, and when they looked up, the car was gone, with the kitten inside.

Anyone who has seen the car -- a silver Audi with Wisconsin tags 858-GXZ -- or especially the kitten, which was inside a gray carrying case, is asked to call Heather Ross at 301-807-5451 or e-mail rocketcanine(at)gmail.com.

UPDATE: The kitten has been found! Hurrah!
