Mark Motta with the Burlington County Regional Recycling Program was on his usual recycling route on July 8th in South Jersey, when he noticed a tiny kitten covered in oil in his waste compactor!
Mark acted quickly and grabbed Squishy before she was crushed by the compactor blades.
"I work for a recycling company and went to check my hydraulics and saw the kitten pinned in the back of the recycling trucks crasher covered in oil," Motta said in a Facebook message. "So I shut everything off and climbed in the back of the truck to get her."
The company safety officer brought her to the vet, and has been fostering her ever since.
"Mark tried to clean her off with his safety vest," said Danielle McKibban, president of the rescue. "They brought her back to headquarters. He gave her multiple Dawn baths to try to get the oil off and took her to the vet. She had an upper respiratory infection. She was put on antibiotics and is doing well. Once she is big enough, she’ll be fixed/ vaccinated/ microchipped, and placed up for adoption."
