Two sanitation workers were just working their normal route clearing trash bins around a neighborhood. The two men were shocked when they heard a sharp but faint meow. It came from within the pile of rubbish in the truck, but at first, the crew was unable to locate any evidence of its presence.

They were both racking their heads, trying to figure out what they could do to preserve it. As a result, they began cleaning out the corners of the truck, but the kitten remained missing.

Two weren’t enough – the pair needed to enlist the help of a 3rd colleague to help locate the buried kitten. A shovel and a broom were also utilized to aid in the navigation of the 5-ton pile of trash.

After more than 30 minutes, they were able to save the kitten — it was a big team effort, but they were successful in rescuing the unfortunate creature!

The three gentlemen then took the kitten to a neighboring animal shelter where he received a thorough bath and a good meal.

As the kitten’s strength and health progressively returned, it was adorable!

This lucky kitten was adopted right away by a member of the shelter’s staff, and he is now happily living with his new human in a loving forever home!
