Band Crew Members Found Little Kittens Inside Their Bus

The afternoon when the band and crew members for Sister Hazel arrived in Ocala, Florida for a concert, one of the crew members heard some noise coming from inside their bus.

When they turned off their vehicle, they realized there were kittens trapped somewhere inside. When they checked the front battery compartment of the bus, they found six wet tiny kittens. They had been stowed away under the bus and traveled all the way from Nashville, Tennessee over the course of two days.

When the band contacted the bus owner, they found out that a stray cat gave birth to the litter of six on the tour bus company’s lot a couple of weeks ago; they assumed the mom had moved her babies.

The crew took the kittens into the bus and wrapped them into a large, soft towel. Melissa Brady, the founder of a local animal rescue was an employee of this venue, so when she saw the kittens, she took the babies and started bottle feeding them.

”The band did everything they could at the time and place, trying to keep them comfortable,” Brady told Love Meow. “I was in the right place at the right time to help them. They have been going full force ever since.”

Scroll down and check out the moment the kittens were rescued by Sister Hazal’s crew members.

This is the CRAZIEST thing ever!! One of our crew guys came in the venue at our Ocala show that afternoon and told Kurt (our tour/production manager) he heard a weird noise coming from somewhere in the bus – and it kinda sounded like cats. Kurt told him we’ve been having problems with the air compressor and that’s probably what it was. He went out, heard something, shut everything down on the bus – and clear as day – it was meowing…. so they tracked it down in the front battery compartment of the bus, opened it up and there we SIX kittens in there. It gets crazier- Kurt Called the bus owner to get some advice about the easiest to get to 3 of them (that we couldn’t reach) – and he said that the cat that lives in the tour bus company lot in NASHVILLE had kittens a couple of weeks ago.. Six. She lived with them in an old abandoned bus on the lot. It must have moved them into our bus… What that means is that they were under the bus that left Nashville on a Wednesday night on a 9 hour drive to Florida, sat all day , then another 6 hour drive to Ocala- and were discovered in the afternoon! Turns out that One of the employees of this venue runs an animal rescue – @melissa_bells_rescue so she took them to get fed and checked out!! They seemed 👌 ok. But I can’t IMAGINE how loud and windy it was when the bus was in the road and interstate highways. We want to encourage fans to reach out to Melissa Bell's Rescue if they are interested in adopting the new Hazel Head kittens!!!!! And don’t forget to get your pets spayed and neutered -KB #kittens #rescuedkittens #kittenadoption #ocala #tourbusstories #kittenrescue
