DETROIT, MI -- A kitten that has been renamed "Dawson" is recovering in foster care after spending three days trapped inside the wall of a Detroit gas station bathroom earlier this month, Michigan Humane Society officials say.

Chris Ouwerkerk, a Michgan Humane Society rescue driver, responded to the call.

"There was a nice big hole in one side of the bathroom," he said. "For a while we didn't hear anything and then finally the cat started making some noise."

Ouwerkerk began tapping the wall to coax the kitten to make more noise so he could locate it.

Since he has a URI, I'm betting feral, but he lucked out and got himself caught in a good place and will now have a home!

1. He looks like a sweetheart.

3. In the past I've rescued feral cats.

I gave them a safe place to live inside my home. It usually took time to build a trust with the cats while they were wild fending for themselves. I couldn't betray that trust by giving 'em away.

4. I know the feeling...I've kept 4 of the ones I rescued this year...

Getting quite a little pride going!

5. I have parrots and little diamond doves now. Cats are out of the question.

I'll pet 'em when I can. I'm thinking about feeding the ones that live outside here but I know I'll be heartbroken that I cannot bring them inside. It gets cold in New Patlz.

6. I would feed them anyway...it will help them when the weather

gets cold. I have one outside that obviously was someone's pet and I tried to bring her inside, and when I closed the door, she jumped off the balcony...twice...she can't be in a closed area for some reason...anyway, that was 3 years ago, still feeding and petting her, but I know she'll never adjust to indoors.

7. I can do that if I pick the food up at night.

This place is also loaded with skunks, raccoons and bunnies.

8. Yeah, you don't want to attract those, especially the raccoons...

They could harm the cats...
