Kitten Discovered in Goodwill Couch
The Goodwill Store in Huron, Ohio got a bonus this week in a donated sofa.
When the sofa in question began yowling, it took store personnel a few minutes to locate the source.
“We heard meowing and didn’t know where it was coming from,” store clerk Kaila Voight said.
“We finally figured out it was coming from the couch. We removed the cushions and out popped the kitten’s head through a slit in the fabric covering the springs,” she said.
Workers tore apart the couch to be sure no addtional kittens were trapped.
The donor called later, saying she was missing a kitten. When she learned the cat had been located, she gave her permission for a customer to adopt him.
This isn’t the first instance of a couch cat stowaway. In March, Callie Jean was discovered in a thrift store couch after being trapped inside for 12 days, and Autumn the Cat was discovered in a discarded box spring minutes before being dumped in landfill.
REMINDER: When donating getting rid of furniture — especially couches and box springs — thoroughly inspect it and do a kitty count before it leaves your home.

Poor kitty…I bet that was way scary for him, but at least he got a forever home out of it!
My mommy recently bought a toaster oven from Goodwill. Unfortunately it never heated up. At least we coulda gotten a free kitten with it mol!
I’m happy the cute little kitty found a good home. (And yes, I am guilty of exploring in the couch.)
Glad the kitty found a good home.
I can’t believe the kitten was inside!! I would check the furniture if I knew my kitten liked to hide inside.
I used to work at Goodwill. For months there was a sofa on the sidewalk down the street from the store. I wonder, especially since the Feline Rescue shelter is just down the street!
I mean, I wonder if there were any little kitties in that sofa!
Oh what a sweet kitty. I hope it will be happy and loved in it’s new home.
Oh my goodness, I’m so glad the little one is all right. Thank yous to the people who heard the kitten and didn’t give up until they found her!
WOW she llooks like me! About the same age too! I wonder if she is a possible litter-mate to me? We live in that area! And mommy found me a couple weeks ago when an elderly lady dropped me off across the street.
Anyhow, we are glad someone rescued her!!!
