Did you know that everyday bravery could possibly save the life of another? This story of three garbagemen and a kitten, proves this.

Two garbagemen were out doing their usual job routine – clearing trash bins all around the neighborhood. Suddenly, they heard a sharp yet faint mew. It came from the pile of trash – in the truck! The two did not see anything.

Both were scratching their hands – how did a kitten get in there? Was it dumped by someone? They decided to try anyway, to save it. They started off by clearing the corners of the truck out, but still no kitten.

Two weren’t enough – they had to enlist the help of a 3rd colleague to help locate the buried kitten. A shovel and a broom were used to navigate the 5-ton heap of trash.

They took 30 minutes to rescue the kitten – it was a team effort!

The three proceeded to ferry the kitten to a local animal shelter nearby for a good bath and meal.

The kitten slowly regained its strength and health back – it is now in good hands thanks to the three brave garbagemen!

The kitten was instantly adopted by one of the staff working at the shelter and is now happily living with his new owner in his forever home.
