One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure, as the adage goes. It’s difficult to grasp how even the tiniest of creatures may be deemed garbage at times, but it’s a reality. Hundreds of fluffy fluffers are being discarded in landfills throughout the world, which many people find inappropriate and ridiculous. It should not be tolerated. The individual who did this is the garbage that has to be thrown away.
As they began their daily routine in Queens, two NYC Department of Sanitation employees, William Montero and John Kase, assumed that Monday would be simply another day at work. They heard a meow as they were loading rubbish bags into the back of the vehicle. Montero hoped it was just a toy, but it wasn’t. A kitten was wailing for aid.
Two sanitation workers in New York discovered Hopper, a 10-week-old kitten, in a packed waste bag.
Montero couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He was taken aback. “Who would do such a thing?” Taking the cat out of the bag… There are so many more ways to assist a cat have a better life than putting it in a bag and tying it up and taping the top. “I can’t help but assume it was planned,” said the sanitation worker, who has worked in the industry for 18 years.
In Queens, William Montero and John Kase were on their way to work. They heard a meow for aid in one of the bags as they were dumping it into the back of the vehicle.
The kitten was first terrified and cautious, and didn’t want to spend too much time in the box.
When he and his coworker John Kase unzipped the package, they discovered a terrified kitten. They searched all the other bags for other cats just to be sure, and happily, or tragically, depending on your perspective, he was the only one. A bit of muck was removed from his eyes, and the worker soothed him by placing the cat against his breast. The employees argued between the names Rusty and Hopper for him to be given. They chose Hopper, which is a moniker for the trash truck’s rear, where the sad cat was rescued.
To calm him down, one of the employees placed him on his chest.
They settled on the moniker Hopper, which is a nickname for the trash truck’s back end. While they continued to work, their boss brought him to the veterinarian.
They requested that their boss take him to the veterinarian so that they could continue with their tasks. Hopper was taken to the veterinarian, where he was believed to be around 10 weeks old and suffering from eye and upper respiratory illnesses. He was then transported to Noah’s Ark Animal Rescue, where he was placed in a foster home until he could find a permanent home. As a farewell gift, Montero and Kase purchased a cat bed and other supplies.
Denise Hock, the founder of Noah’s Ark Animal Rescue, offered her thoughts on the matter. Hock stated, “People are simply horrible.” “What could possibly motivate someone to put a cat in a bag and murder it?” Call someone if you don’t want it. Take it to a police station. There are several shelters available. It’s incomprehensible why someone would do anything so heinous.”
Everything works out in the end. Hopper is on the mend and looking forward to his new home. His health is steady, and he is recovering from the stress and illnesses he suffered. Let’s hope Hopper is able to move on to a new chapter in his life.
