Soggy moggy rescued from car wash

This tiny soggy moggy was rescued from a car wash in Ohio in the US.

The orange kitten, nicknamed Turbo Rinse, was discovered by a car wash employee near to the turbo blaster section of the car wash tunnel.

“I heard a kitten meowing and followed the sound until I found him," said Kierra Mills, the team leader at the car wash.

"I brought him inside our main office and began drying him off as quickly as I could,” she said.

Turbo Rinse was then brought to the Fayette Regional Humane Society - an animal rescue charity - where he received a health check-up by the staff.

Turbo wasn't injured during his recent trip, but picked up a bit of a cold, and staff say he is now resting and receiving lots of warmth and care.

“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” he said.

Once Turbo Rinse is feline better and has been given his vaccinations, a microchip, and neutered he will be available for adoption.
