A kitten's narrow escape  

At just a few months old, Higgins was fending for herself outside one chilly November night. She climbed under the hood of a vehicle and huddled near the engine, falling fast asleep. She just wanted to be warm. 

The next morning, an unsuspecting vehicle owner turned the key in the ignition. Higgins escaped with her life, but sustained injuries to her body, legs and chin, resulting in $1,100 in emergency medical care. Luckily, she healed under the watchful eyes of Foothills Animal Shelter's health care team, and was adopted on December 6th.
