At work, everyone's counting down the seconds until they can take their lunch break and escape the cubicle lifestyle for an hour. Who would've thought that the employees in this story would end up rescuing a kitten climbing from car engine to car engine when they should be eating their second meal of the day? Not me! But they couldn't be happier to welcome a new office kitten into their work environment.

If you work in an animal-friendly office, you know how much a dog or a cat visiting during the workday boosts everyone's mood and morale. It's unfortunate that some folks have allergies to the furry fellas, but in an office that is animal-allergy-free, it's like heaven. I, myself, work in a dog-friendly office, and having a pup climb into my lap during a meeting or begging me for pets while I'm staring off into space is like winning the lottery.

The employees in this next story rescue a kitten, whose name might end up being "Smudge" (because of the engine oil all over her fur—adorable). This kitten will be coming home with the pet parent who posted this story, but Maybe-Smudge might end up being the office mascot! Scroll below to read the entire pawdorable story.
