New Jersey kitten is rescued from waste compactor just in the nick of time

A kitten from New Jersey may be short one or two of her nine lives after she was rescued from a waste compactor just in the nick of time.

Burlington County Regional Recycling Program employee Mark Motta was having a normal day at work on July 8 when he went to check the hydraulics of his truck. 

Although those hydraulics were in working order, much to his surprise, there was something else in the compactor: a kitten. 

The little stowaway appeared scared and was covered in oil.
