Man Hears Odd Noises Near Semi Truck, Then He Realizes The Dark Situation

It all started with a sound. A Colorado man heard the soft squeak from somewhere nearby, and he sensed danger — that didn't stop him from following his ears to a dark situation. Though he was reluctant to give his name when reporters finally caught up to him, he didn't hesitate to share the dark details of his harrowing night outside Denver.

On the way

The anonymous man — who we'll call Anonymous for the sake of simplicity — was outside of a tire shop in Commerce City, a suburb about 15 minutes from Denver, Colorado. Even on the freezing October night, he could hear a sound of distress.

Ideal timing

The streets were empty: it was 19 degrees outside, after all, and coronavirus restrictions were still limiting the number of Coloradans out and about. If Anonymous didn't track down the sound, no one would, and the urge to act only grew as he realized what was making the noise.

The semi-truck

Anonymous followed the animal cries to a parked semi-truck, and he had to do a bit of searching to discover the source of the sounds; when he checked one of the truck's tires, his suspicions were confirmed.

Little damsel

Completely stuck within one of the trailer's tires, Anonymous found a small tabby kitten. He'd been following what he suspected were meows, though he didn't expect to see such a dire situation: Because it was so cold outside, the kitten was frozen to the metal!
