When Timmy DeJordy of Edmonton bought a new mattress, she gave her old set to Sleep Country Canada, a major mattress retailer whose donation program provides beds to charitable organizations throughout the country. The delivery guys wrapped up DeJordy’s old, double-sized mattress and took it away. The next morning, DeJordy’s 17-year-old cat, Precious, was gone.
Her sister reminded her that Precious had a habit of hiding in the old bed, so DeJordy called Sleep Country. Several employees searched through dozens of donated mattresses before finding the frightened feline hiding in a box spring. A Sleep Country manager delivered the slightly stressed, but otherwise okay, Precious back home to DeJordy.
This isn’t the first time a cat has made the news for being accidentally donated along with furniture.
