The technicians removed the rear bumper to free the kitten.

Carolyne Kemp from Cats Protection in Southampton said: “Volunteer for Cats Protection Marco Coco Antonia had been out trapping feral kittens, when we transfer them from a trap into a cage we do this in the back of our van.

“Unbeknown to us there was a small hole behind the rear door that a tiny kitten managed to get into, which was some sort of vent behind the rear bumper, there was no way to get the kitten out.

“So we asked called on the lads who work at Iveco in West End for some help.

“After examining the van it was decided to remove the rear bumper to gain access to the vent, two big soppy mechanics set to work and managed to release the kitten unharmed.”
