COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — In what could be described as a near cat-astrophy, a kitten was rescued from inside a U.S. Post Office mailbox.

The feline, now named Special Delivery, was discovered after being allegedly shoved through the mailbox slot at the Clarksburg, Ohio, post office, according to a news release from Fayette Regional Humane Society. The agency said the kitten was “scared but unharmed” and is recovering at its adoption center.

“I’m sure it was a bit of a shock to hear meowing coming from the mailbox” Chief Humane Agent Brad Adams said. “I’ve seen kittens stuck in many places, but this was new for me.”

Special Delivery is a white and yellow male around 10 weeks old. The organization noted that he is “enjoying his status as the center of attention and has stolen the hearts of the staff.”

“We can only imagine how scared he must have been, trapped alone in that dark mailbox,” Adams said. “But Special Delivery has a bright future ahead. He already meows for attention and wants to be picked up and cuddled by everyone who passes by.”

The humane society also thanked the Ross County Sheriff’s deputy and the postal worker for keeping Special Delivery safe until Adams arrived.

“We are so fortunate that Special Delivery was found in time” said Dr. Lee Schrader, executive director. ”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!”

Special Delivery will be listed on Petfinder.org when he is available for adoption.
