Vehicle trouble? Hardly. See photo below.Palms West Carrier Linda Hamm was delivering mail when she heard a squeaking noise from under the hood of her LLV. Worried something was wrong, she parked her LLV. Even after turning off the vehicle, she still heard a noise coming from the front grill.
Linda investigated and noticed two little kitten faces peering at her. Not wanting to injure the kittens, she called the Palms West Branch for suggestions. Palms West Clerk Cindy Langdon was going to lunch when she heard the news and went to the scene.
A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Officer stopped to find out if assistance was needed. The officer did not have the proper tools to assist and called Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. Fire Rescue arrived with tools to undo the front grill and pulled out two exhausted & extremely warm eight-week old kittens.
This story continues with a happy ending. Palms West Retail Associate Debbie Petrone mentioned the rescue to a customer who was more than happy to take the kittens to foster until placed in a permanent home.
(Thanks to West Palm Beach Customer Relations Coordinator JoAnn Goodrich for sharing story and to Palms West Letter Carrier Linda Hamm for the photos.)
