Donated sofa came with stowaway kitten

Goodwill stores often get unusual donations, but the one in Huron received a sofa on Thursday that literally was the cat's meow.

A kitten had somehow got trapped inside the couch, and its meows alerted store personnel to the young feline's predicament.

"We heard meowing and didn't know where it was coming from," store clerk Kaila Voight said.



"We finally figured out it was coming from the couch. We removed the cushions and out popped the kitten's head through a slit in the fabric covering the springs," she said.

As a precaution, store personnel tore apart the sofa, but didn't find any more kittens.

The donor later called Goodwill to say she was missing a kitten and that it might be in the couch. She was relieved to learn it had been found and gave her permission for a customer to adopt it.
