A Minnesota cat is doing an inventory of what’s left of its 9 lives after enduring 35-minutes in a washing machine. Stefani Carroll-Kirchoff has three cats. She says she usually checks the washer and dryer before hitting ‘start’ but last week forgot. She almost re-ran the load when she noticed a single white paw.
1-year-old Felix was rushed to an emergency vet. He had pneumonia and temporarily lost his sight. He’s still on oxygen but is expected to fully recover.
Carroll-Kirchoff says she’s still in shock and the incident will forever haunt her. A GoFundMe initiative has, so far, raised more than $11,000 to help with medical expenses.
