Kitten Rescued at Dining Hall Porch

by Anna Shearouse, Marketing Assistant on August 20, 2010

in For the Birds

An unbearably cute four week old white kitten with blue eyes was recently discovered outside the Dining Hall.  The cat, stuck in a crawl space, must have been dropped by its mother, who was then unable to retrieve to kitten.  A staff member heard the pathetic little mews, almost mistaking them for bird chirps.  She quickly sent word to the Buildings and Grounds Department that there was an emergency.  Alan and James came to the rescue, having to actually chip away some concrete to reach the terrified and malnourished kitten.

A dining hall staff member has adopted the kitten and is considering naming him ‘JC” or “Campbell.”  He promises to make regular visits to the office so we can keep track of this lucky kitten!

ack! cuteness overload. new folk school mascot! i see t-shirts and a crocheted kitten-wear line, kitten leather boots and a ‘how to felt using cat sheddings’ course. this could change everything.
