Clarksburg, Ohio – A kitten is doing well after someone shoved him through a mail slot at the Clarksburg, Ohio, Post Office. The 10-week-old kitten, dubbed Special Delivery, is recovering from his adventure in the mailbox at the Fayette Regional Humane Society’s Animal Care and Adoption Center.
Chief Humane Agent Brad Adams commented on the unusual situation,
“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!”
Adding:
“We can only imagine how scared he must have been, trapped alone in that dark mailbox.”
Despite the traumatizing ordeal, Special Delivery is doing well and enjoying being “the center of attention” at the shelter where he has stolen the hearts of the staff. Dr. Lee Schrader, executive director, said:
“We are so fortunate that Special Delivery was found in time. He was our most precious special delivery. And, just as a reminder, if you find a kitten, please call your nearest shelter for advice – kittens can’t be mailed!”

Poor little baby, I’m so glad he was rescued. There are some really stupid people in this world!!
Any cameras at the post office to track the creep that did this? Seems like the person could be found easily and prosecuted! I’m glad the little kitty is safe now!!
What is wrong with people that they would think this is okay to do to an animal. . Thankfully it turned out well for this little guy and the other cat mentioned here that was sealed in a box for 4 days in excruciating heat. But for timely intervention both these stories could have have had a much sadder ending.Wish people would actually use a little common sense and compassion in these situations.
I think if people would treat there kids like this is so sad to treat an animal
