“We were a little delirious from lack of sleep but we could swear we heard meowing coming from under the hood of a pickup truck,” said lead singer Nick Wold of the Brooklyn-based band Dreamers told BuzzFeed Music.
They talked to the gas station employee about hearing cat sounds, and convinced her to open up the hood….
“…there was a tiny black kitten sitting right there on the engine,” he said. “She quickly grabbed it and handed it to me. The kitten was brand new, couldn’t have been more than 2 weeks old, and was making terrified spitting hisses and clawing at my hand with weak harmless claws as if fighting for its life. We stuffed it in a cardboard box and took it on the road.”
They immediately named her, Lil Trucker! Everyone from the band just fell in love with their new little furry groupie. They just wouldn’t be able to leave her at the gas station so decided to take her on tour with them. Soon Lil Trucker became their official tiny mascot!
After each and every concert, Lil Trucker is there waiting for her humans to return and play with her.
Nothing makes lead singer Nick happier than having a little furry companion by his side while he’s on tour.
Lil Trucker is Nick’s biggest fan and is oftentimes seen on his shoulder.
The band said they will continue to care for the kitten until they can find her a forever loving home.
