Story summary

In Barberton, Ohio, workers at River Reach Construction were performing their daily tasks when they heard a kitten meowing from inside one of their Komatsu excavators. Supervisor Chase Guello investigated and found the tiny kitten hiding inside the machine, which he was able to free after removing its skid plate. The kitten, later named Sue, quickly became an unofficial mascot for the construction crew. To celebrate her rescue, Sue was given a miniature hard hat and high-visibility vest.
