Tiny Kitten Shoved Through A Mailbox Leaves Ohio Rescuers Heartbroken
Brad Adams had seen just about everything during his time at Fayette Regional Humane Society. That changed the day an urgent call pulled him into a rescue unlike any he’d handled before.
The report was disturbing: a tiny kitten had somehow been forced through a mailbox slot in Clarksburg, Ohio.
The alarm was raised after a sheriff’s deputy contacted Fayette Humane with troubling news from the local post office. Postal workers had discovered the kitten trapped inside the narrow slot, stunned and unsure how to free the helpless little life without making things worse.
Brad, always ready to step in for animals in need, rushed to the scene, his thoughts racing with concern for the scared little kitten.
The drive felt longer as he imagined the confusion and fear the tiny feline must have felt.
When he arrived, the worried postal workers who had found and cared for the kitten greeted him. Brad remarked:
“I’m sure it was a bit of a shock to hear meowing coming from the mailbox. I’ve seen kittens stuck in many places, but this was new for me!”
Luckily, the kitten was unharmed, though still a bit frightened.
The shelter team took him in immediately and lovingly named him Special Delivery, honoring his unusual and memorable entrance.
The shelter gave him all the care and love he needed, helping him leave his frightening experience behind.
Reflecting on how quickly the tiny kitten went from a scary trap to a safe and loving environment, they shared in a Facebook post:
“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.”
It didn’t take long for Special Delivery to show his sweet, affectionate side. He meowed for cuddles and eagerly approached anyone who came near. Brad shared:
“We can only imagine how scared he must have been, trapped alone in that dark mailbox. 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.”
The Humane Society posted Special Delivery’s story on Facebook, touching countless hearts with his frightening yet uplifting journey.
They shared that he would soon be ready for adoption and expressed their hope that a kind-hearted person would give him the loving forever home he deserves.
It’s truly shocking to imagine that someone could push a tiny kitten through a mail slot, leaving him trapped and alone.
But thanks to the shelter’s care and dedication, Special Delivery now has a real chance at a safe, happy life, far away from the danger and neglect he once faced.
