BETHESDA WOMAN ADOPTS

KITTEN FOUND FROZEN TO

SEWER COVER



Feline Was Hit by Car in Sioux City,

Now Finding a New Home in Bethesda



Bethesda resident Gail Bancroft traveled to Sioux City, Iowa, to adopt Oliver, a kitten who fell victim to a series of unfortunate events in the streets of his city.

As one newspaper and several TV stations in Sioux City have reported, Oliver was apparently struck by a hit-and-run driver. Whether he was thrown, or simply staggered away and collapsed, is unknown. What is known is that Sioux City Animal Adoption and Rescue found Oliver literally frozen to a sewer cover, near death.

Miraculously, Oliver recovered.

The biggest miracle came when Bancroft - originally from Iowa - heard about Oliver's plight. Flying across the country, Bancroft adopted Oliver, and brought him back here to live.

The following newspaper didn't have the whole story, but does have a photo and video of Oliver and his new owner:
