As he approached the door, the delivery driver noticed something odd—a small hole in his package, revealing a pair of curious eyes peering back at him. Turns out, it was a stray kitten who had taken shelter inside during the night. By lunchtime, the whole neighborhood had gathered around Cost Cutters for a spontaneous adoption event, complete with donated treats and temporary hairstyles for the new resident.
