A tiny black kitten, discovered inside a laundry facility in Yeovil, may have inadvertently arrived with a delivery, according to the company. The young feline was found on Monday, June 23, at the factory premises.
Staff at the facility found the kitten, estimated to be about four months old, cold, hungry, and severely underweight, yet surprisingly affectionate. Although the exact origins remain uncertain, it’s believed she might have been hidden inside a cage of dirty laundry collected from a customer.
“She was incredibly friendly and trusting despite clearly needing urgent care,” said a representative from CLEAN. “We don’t know if she belongs locally or if she came in with a delivery, but she’s certainly made a lasting impression on our team.”

Following her discovery, the kitten was taken to Kingston Veterinary Group in Yeovil. Veterinarians confirmed she is female, has no microchip, and as of now, no owner has come forward. She is currently receiving attentive care at the clinic and is safe and stable.
CLEAN is reaching out to the local community for help in identifying her owner and reuniting the kitten with her family. Anyone with information or who recognizes the kitten is encouraged to contact Kingston Veterinary Group in Yeovil at [email protected].
