You never know where you’ll find an animal in need of saving. Sometimes animals are found in the most unexpected—and dangerous—places.
Recently, one little kitty had a close call at an Ohio car wash, but thankfully was saved at the last minute by employees. Now, he’s looking for a home.
On August 21, the Fayette Regional Humane Society shared a post about a kitten who had survived a “harrowing experience” thanks to some car was employees.
Staff at Ultimate Shine Car Wash, in Washington Court House, Ohio, reportedly found a drenched and “visibly shaken” orange-and-white tabby kitten hiding in the wash.
The six-week-old kitten had apparently been knocked out from his hiding place by “the powerful turbo blasters” and was now in the path of high-pressure jets, putting his in danger. But thankfully, employees answered the call of his cry.
“I heard a kitten meowing and followed the sound until I found him,” said team lead Kierra Mills, as quoted in the Facebook post. “He looked terrified, soaking wet, and shaking, so I brought him inside our main office and began drying him off as quickly as I could.”
The kitten, now dubbed “Turbo Rinse,” was taken to Fayette Regional Humane Society, where he received a check-up. Thankfully, he was unharmed and had no injuries. The Humane Society was thankful for the car wash employee’s vigilance, which likely saved the kitten’s life.
“This could have ended very differently if not for the attentiveness of the car wash staff,” said Brad Adams, FRHS Chief Humane Agent. “It’s a reminder to always check under your vehicle, especially if you have cats or kittens on your property.”
Turbo Rinse is now resting comfortably: he will receive his vaccinations nad be microchipped and neutered, before being placed up for adoption.
We’re so glad Turbo Rinse is safe and sound, thank you to the car wash employees who found him and saved his life! We hope he finds a great forever home soon!
