A kitten found in a cardboard box for use at International Bildrite is now in foster care. An employee was throwing cardboard boxes into the beater that crushes and beats down cardboard when he heard cries coming from one of the boxes. He opened the box to discover this kitten, believed to be about four to five weeks old. He took the kitten home to his wife, who then contacted Paws and Claws Koochiching County Rescue. Aptly named “Lucky Penny,” she is now safe and in foster care.
