Couple Rescue Kitten Trapped In Wrapped Plastic Pallet

A couple shopping at their local home-improvement store heard noises from inside a pallet wrapped in plastic – before opening it and discovering a kitten trapped inside. Shelby Elko, 29, and husband Alex, 32, from Grand Rapids, Michigan, were browsing the garden section of the local store on April 26 when they heard a noise, which they both thought could be a bird. Having heard the noise again, the couple started looking for where the sound was coming from, tracing it to a plastic wrapped pallet of lava rock bags. Shelby tried her best to reach the noise, but after failing to get high enough, she called on Alex to jump up while she captured the moment on video. In the stunning footage, Alex can be seen ripping a hole in the plastic wrap, which then caused a kitten to fall out onto a sack below.
