HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. -- A cat rescued from the engine of a pickup truck after a 28-mile ride has a new home. The cat was given Sunday to Jennifer Blunts and her boyfriend, John Tegethoff. The tale began when the orange-and-white feline crawled into the pickup's engine compartment. Not knowing the cat was there, the driver traveled from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, to the Mars Chocolate North America plant in Hackettstown, New Jersey, where employees heard meows and called police.
