The guys in Sister Hazel (and their crew) are basically heroes right now. 

It started when a crew guy heard a noise on the tour bus and told the tour manager, who was all, yeah, it’s probably the air compressor problems we’ve been having. But no. He went out and heard something too, so he shut down everything on the bus and heard.. meowing. WHAT. 

The guys tracked down the noise to the front battery compartment of the bus, where they found kittens. Six of ‘em. All little bitty and missing their mama.  A call to the bus company revealed that mama cat lived in an abandoned bus on the lot and had just had those babies a couple of weeks ago, and she must have moved them over to the Sister Hazel bus. Check it out here! 

That means they were under there when the bus left Nashville last Wednesday night, through a nine-hour drive to Florida, where the bus sat all day, and then through another six-hour drive to Ocala, where they were found Friday afternoon. Those babies are survivors! In fact, if I were going to name them, the choices would be obvious: Gloria Gaynor, Destiny’s Child, Beyonce, Bee Gee, Hank, and Tiger (as in “Eye of the..”) (think about it… there it is).

The good news is that someone at the venue happens to run a rescue and she gathered them all up and took them in. They’re all doing just fine and they’re called the Hazel Heads. There’s one boy and 5 girls, and they’ll be ready for adoption in about 9 weeks, so if you’re interested, reach out to Melissa Bell’s rescue. 

Nice work, Sister Hazel team.
