Little kittens, those cute little balls of fur, can sometimes be a bit clumsy and not very focused. As a result, they tend to end up in some pretty strange and surprising places, just like the one in this story.
This particular kitten had quite an exciting experience when it was found stuck inside an ATM machine. Luckily, a team of courageous firefighters arrived to help and saved the kitten, giving it a chance at a new beginning.

A unique tale of rescue took place in Arkansas when a concerned individual contacted the Fort Smith Fire Department regarding a kitten that was stuck inside the ATM outside the Regions Bank. The circumstances leading to how the small kitten ended up trapped inside the ATM is still a mystery, but one thing is for sure – this incident had a lasting impact on its life. Following a successful rescue operation, the kitten was brought to the Fort Smith Animal Haven shelter in Arkansas, where it was given the name “Cash.”
The unexpected rescue at the Fort Smith Animal Haven left everyone in disbelief, including vet tech Ashley Deane. She shared her surprise, commenting that it was her first time encountering a cat stuck in an ATM. She never imagined someone could try to withdraw money and end up with a cat instead. Upon Cash’s arrival at the shelter, he was given a detailed examination, which showed that he was underweight but otherwise healthy. With some good food and care, Cash was able to bounce back quickly from his ordeal.
According to the staff at Fort Smith Animal Haven, Cash has a passion for food and a touch of sassiness in his personality. Ashley mentioned that he can be a bit feisty due to fear, which is a common reaction in new environments. However, with some love and care from our handlers, Cash usually becomes more easygoing and cooperative after a few days.
As Ashley had foreseen, Cash underwent a heartwarming transformation at the Fort Smith Animal Haven, becoming increasingly loving and cuddly each day. Alexis Bloom, a staff member at the shelter, observed Cash’s change: “When you pick him up, he’s just a big ball of purrs, the sweetest little baby.” Cash was cared for at the shelter, receiving the attention he deserved until he was finally adopted and found his forever home.
Shoutout to Fort Smith Animal Haven for giving him a chance at a new life. He’s now soaking up all the love and joy with Dr. Sills and his family. Here’s to hoping he gets nothing but love and care for the rest of his days!
