WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE — A kitten will be put up for adoption in a few weeks after allegedly being shoved through a mailbox slot.
On Saturday at 8:44 p.m., a Fayette Regional Humane Society (FRHS) humane agent was dispatched by a Ross County Sheriff’s Office deputy to the Clarksburg Post Office about the kitten.
According to FRHS, The kitten was scared but unharmed. The kitten, now named, Special Delivery is recovering from his adventure in the mailbox at the Fayette Regional Humane Society’s Animal Care and Adoption Center.
“I’m sure it was a bit of a shock to hear meowing coming from the mailbox” stated Chief Humane Agent Brad Adams in a news release. “I’ve seen kittens stuck in many places, but this was new for me!”
Special Delivery is about 10 weeks old. Despite the unusual circumstances of his rescue, he is enjoying his status as the center of attention and has stolen the hearts of the staff.
“We can only imagine how scared he must have been, trapped alone in that dark mailbox,” Adams said “But Special Delivery has a bright future ahead. He already meows for attention and wants to be picked up and cuddled by everyone who passes by.”
Special Delivery is about 10 weeks old. Despite the unusual circumstances of his rescue, he is enjoying his status as the center of attention and has stolen the hearts of the staff. FRHS is thankful to the Ross County Sheriff’s deputy and the postal worker for keeping Special Delivery safe until Humane Agent Adams arrived.
“We are so fortunate that Special Delivery was found in time” stated Dr. Lee Schrader, executive director.”He was our most precious special delivery. And, just as a reminder, if you find a kitten, please call your nearest shelter for advice- kittens can’t be mailed!”
