Overview
- Samantha Hardin says she and her husband bought a three‑piece used couch from a coworker, then noticed their dogs fixated on it and heard a faint collar bell.
- After hours of coaxing, they flipped the sofa and cut a larger opening in the bottom panel to safely extract an orange kitten named Cheeto.
- The couple secured Cheeto in a crate overnight with water and a makeshift litter box while awaiting a response from the seller.
- They reunited the kitten with its owner the next morning, and Hardin later checked on the cat’s adjustment at home.
- Their TikTok of the rescue has drawn more than 800,000 views, with commenters sharing similar experiences and Hardin urging pet owners to triple‑check furniture before parting with it.
