A cat was rescued in Summerbridge after going on the trip of a lifetime stuck in the engine bay of a car.

A service spokesperson said the cat was found to be stuck in the engine bay.
They added:
“It’s believed that the cat had travelled to Ilkley and back in the same spot.
“Crews released the cat using small tools to remove a plastic cover in the wheel arch. The cat was uninjured.”
