Pennsylvania Plumber Sees A Trash Bag Thrown From A Car And Freezes When It Starts To Move
Jason Schwartz, a plumber at Handyside Plumbing in Pennsylvania, was going through an ordinary workday when something unusual caught his eye.
A car passed by, and from its window, someone hurled out a black trash bag. At first, Jason assumed it was just another act of careless littering.
But then, to his shock, the bag moved.
Jason ran over to see what was going on. The second he opened the bag, his heart sank.
Inside the bag was a tiny black kitten, barely alive. She was so young that she probably hadn’t even reached three weeks old yet.
Jason picked her up and held her close. She was cold, scared, and clearly far too small to be fending for herself. There was no way he was leaving her there.
From that moment on, she became his little travel buddy. Wrapped in blankets and riding shotgun in his work van, she joined Jason on all his service calls.
Jason hand-fed her with a syringe almost hourly, doing his best to keep her warm and comfortable between jobs.
It wasn’t your typical plumbing day, but he didn’t mind one bit.
Before long, this tiny kitten became somewhat of a mascot around Jason’s office.
When she wasn’t tagging along in Jason’s van, she was relaxing in the company warehouse, soaking up all the love and attention.
She had everyone wrapped around her tiny paw. Staff couldn’t resist checking in on her, offering cuddles, and making sure she was safe and happy.
Carley Handyside, the company’s Director of Operations, spoke thoughtfully about the rescue and what it means for the team, sharing in an interview:
“At Handyside, we talk a lot about going above and beyond for our customers, but our team brings that same compassion to everything they do. We’re proud of our tech’s quick action and the kindness our whole team has shown.”
But the kitten’s story didn’t stop there.
Olivia Thomas, the company’s marketing administrator and a proud cat mom herself, offered to provide some extra help. She took the kitten home to care for her around the clock.
She hasn’t landed on a final name yet, but thanks to the kitten’s fuzzy black coat and adorably large ears, Olivia’s been calling her “Bat.”
These days, the tiny fighter is getting cozy in Olivia’s home, where she’s slowly meeting her cat, Indie. The hope is that, before long, the two will grow into the sweetest little pair.
Olivia already plans to officially adopt her soon and give her the forever home she’s been waiting for.
Surrounded by love and care, this kitten’s future is shining brighter than ever.
