Two Unsuspecting Sanitation Workers in Philadelphia were surprised to find a cat trapped inside a garbage bag while collecting trash. The workers promptly rescued the feline, named him Marty, and ensured he found a safe shelter.

The incident occurred on April 6th when Marty was discovered inside a tied garbage bag. The workers described the situation as heart-wrenching and immediately stopped their work to rescue the helpless cat. Marty was frightened and covered in trash, but the workers managed to comfort him and bring him to safety.

Having no idea what to do next, the workers contacted Linda Dixon, the block captain of the neighborhood where they found Marty.

After the news of the incident spread on social media, the Animal Care & Control Team of Philadelphia (ACCT Philly) became aware of Marty's story. ACCT Philly is a local animal shelter that provides care and finds homes for stray and abandoned animals. They offered to take Marty in and find him a loving home.

The unsung heroes, the sanitation workers, expressed their gratitude towards Dixon and ACCT Philly for their prompt assistance. They noted that they were simply doing their jobs and didn't expect the attention Marty's story would receive.

Marty's journey from being trapped in a garbage bag to finding a loving shelter is a heartwarming example of how small acts of kindness can make a significant impact on the lives of animals in need.
