Can scrapper helps rescue Dumpster cat: Feline’s tail and paw frozen to bottom

A Toledo cat shelter recently received an unusual call that resulted in a rescue effort to save a stray cat who was frozen to the bottom of a trash bin.

An unknown Good Samaritan called Paws & Whiskers Cat Shelter on Jan. 26 after discovering the long-haired brown tabby inside a garbage bin at the Hilltop Village Apartments off of North Byrne Road.

David Plunkett, manager of the cat shelter that's located just over two miles from the apartment complex, said the caller had been collecting aluminum cans when the terrified male cat surprised him with a growl.

“He said he didn't want to get bit or scratched, so he called us,” Mr. Plunkett said. “And he said the cat was frozen to the bottom.”
