EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) -It wasn’t a common day at work for 2 upkeep professionals in the Chippewa Valley when among their work trucks began meowing.
Thanks to their actions, one feline is getting a 2nd possibility.
Maintenance professionals Andy Fenner and Paul Soden were simply finishing up their day at Chippewa Valley Technical College in Eau Claire when something uncommon occurred.
“After work we park our trucks in a different building here, so I started the truck and was driving out to the building, and I could hear this faint meowing going on,” Fenner said. “At first I wasn’t sure what exactly I was hearing. I thought the cat was actually in the cab of the truck with me.”
There was a cat in Fenner’s truck, however it wasn’t on the within. Instead it was under the hood.
“I said shut the engine off because he still had the engine running, and we didn’t want the kitty to get hurt if he was in there,” Soden said. “He shut the engine off, and I open up the hood, and there the little black kitty was right in the corner.”
Soden said after they opened the hood, the cat attempted to conceal.
“It was a super cold afternoon, so we knew we couldn’t just leave it for dead,” Soden said. “We had to figure out how to get him out of there and get him somewhere warm.”
To do that Soden and Fenner went to work attempting to coax the feline out. Once the cat remained in their arms, they needed to determine what to do with her.
“I’m not much of a cat guy, but she was a cutie,” Fenner said. “I thought maybe there was a chance I’d be bringing her home. We couldn’t just leave her.”
That’s something Fenner didn’t need to stress over long. News of the little black cat made its method to simply the ideal individual.
“I was in a virtual meeting at the college here, and one of my colleagues said during the meeting he had to go pick up a cat that was found in an engine,” said Vince Mussehl who likewise operates at CVTC. “While he messaged that, I said: ‘Oh, well you should let me know about it, you should send me a picture. You know, we are looking for a cat.’”
After seeing the cat’s picture, Mussehl chose it was the ideal suitable for his family. That night when he brought her home, he said his kids were delighted.
“They were very surprised and very happy,” Mussehl said. “We were going to look at adopting a cat in the summer or late spring, so when they came home on a day in February, they were very excited.”
Mussehl said initially the cat was a little shy, now she’s coming out of her shell heating up to the family and trying to find snuggles.
Mussehl said his kids called the little cat Kitty. They’ve established an appointment to take her to the vet later on this month to examine her for any microchips.
