Candle Causes Fire, Kitten Discovery, E-Cig Ban and Snow Day Pics

Plus, an airport shuttle driver charged with robbery now facing abduction charges, too.

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington is holding a 3-month-old kitten that was found under a car seat this week. The driver doesn't know how the cat got into the car, but it may have been while the car was left unattended in a Springfield garage with a window down.

That's not the only interesting visitor. A large hawk made a surprise visit to the animal control office — hitting a window. Find out why and read more stories in our daily collection from across Patch sites in Virginia and D.C.
