The Tri-County Volunteer Fire Company responded to the store on Route 57 in Mansfield Township around 5 p.m., the department said.

Chief Kostenbader worked alongside Schooley's Mountain Fire Co. 3’s Chief Welch, who had been inside the store during the initial call, authorities said.

The pair worked together to safely extricate the kitten — named “Mercedes” by the township’s animal control officer — from the wheel well of the vehicle.

Mercedes was then taken to Common Sense for Animals for further care — all nine lives still preserved.
