Just an adorable clip of a rescue kitten called McNugget poking his head through a cardboard box. The cute moment was captured on September 22 by a volunteer at an animal shelter called ACCT Philly in Philadelphia, USA. "Kittens that are too small to be in cages in maternity are in cardboard carrier boxes with a blanket and a heated rice sock to keep them warm," the filmer explained. "The shelter recently got new boxes with these big round holes on the side and the kittens that are big enough, like to stick their heads through it and peek out," she added. "McNugget is a 4-week-old single kitten that was brought into the shelter as a stray," she said. "He had returned from overnight care and was on the shelf with other litters of kittens that had also returned. I walked over to visit the other kittens in the cages in maternity and McNugget started popping his head out of the box for attention. I walked over to see him and he stuck his mouth through the hole and started loudly meowing. I was afraid he wasn't going to get his head stuck, so as you can hear in the I tell him to put his head back in before he gets hurt and he actually does it with one final meow," she said. The story has a happy ending for McNugget: he was taken into long-term foster care the same day that the clip was filmed. "He is now thriving in his foster home," the filmer said. According to ACCY Philly's website, it's mission is to "provide shelter, care and life saving efforts for homeless, abandoned, and abused and protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Philadelphia, providing a benefit to all of the citizens of the City regardless of race or economic status."
