Paw-some news! 🐱 Last summer, a kitten was spotted peeking out from behind the hoistway of an apartment building elevator, and a kind citizen called in the KONE rescue team. Maintenance Technician Colin Clow and Helper Tim Panton carefully released the tiny passenger, who was thankfully unscathed by the adventure. And the story has an even better ending: the kitten was taken to a local humane society and has now found a fur-ever home! Brilliant work, Colin and Tim! 💙 Read the whole story below: #LifeAtKONE
