PURR-FECT NEW HIRE

PURR-FECT NEW HIRE

Prepare yourself for cuteness overload. An Ohio construction crew has gained an unexpected new team member: a kitten.

Workers with RiverReach Construction discovered a tiny orange kitten hiding inside the engine compartment of an excavator at a job site in Leavittsburg. After failing to find the kitten’s mother or siblings, the crew adopted her and named her Komatsu, after the excavator brand, though they call her Sue.

The kitten spent two weeks in foster care before joining the family of a company mechanic, and she’s expected to become the shop cat. After video of the rescue went viral, Komatsu even sent Sue her own miniature safety vest and hard hat.
