Severely Burned Cat, Mr. Biscuits, Released From Vet Hospital

The small orange cat that survived a drive while trapped in an engine has left the veterinary hospital four weeks later.

"Mr. Biscuits has left the building!!!” wrote Metropolitan Veterinary Associates and Emergency Services on the kitty's Facebook page. “This afternoon, he was healthy enough to go to his foster home with The Grannie Project.”

The Facebook page was made to keep fans and well-wisher up to date on his recovery. It has received a ton of attention with animal lovers throughout the area posting pictures of their own pets and offering support for the recovering Mr. Biscuits.

The cat, who had to have his tail and ear amputated, is now in foster care while he continues to recover from severe burns he received while trapped under the hood of a car in the East Falls section of Philadelphia.

“Most cats that seek shelter in engines and are unfortunate enough to still be there when the car is turned on aren't as lucky as Mr. Biscuits," said a representative from the local vet hospital where Mr. Biscuits was treated. "Most of them are killed.”
