The Animal Rescue League of Iowa is caring for a cat that was found in a box without ventilation.

The ARL posted on Facebook that at about 5 p.m. Thursday, a cardboard box taped shut was found at the front door of their office.

"Thankfully, an adopter heard the cat crying on their way in and we rushed to bring the cat inside, where our medical team discovered the box did not have any holes for ventilation so he was likely discovered just in time," the post stated. "He also had a minor and likely recent wound on his head."

"Remember, the ARL will always be here for animals in need of a new home for any reason, but the outcome could have been deadly for this cat had he not been discovered in time," the post read.

The ARL said the cat already has a family in line ready to adopt him.

I appreciate the humor of the message, but jeeze, would it have hurt to put a hole or 2 in the box? On the other hand, I doubt the box was airtight, so the kitty probably wouldn't have suffocated. Still no excuse, owner could have just waited till the shelter opened.

I'm guessing that they were just trying to make sure that the cat stayed in the box until it got into the building. I doubt that they intended to harm the kittus...
