A young kitten was found in the parking lot of the state Capitol in Charleston. It has been adopted by Jacque Bland, communications director for the West Virginia Senate.


Moundsville native Jacque Bland has a new feline companion after playing a role in the rescue of a scared tabby kitten taking refuge under vehicles parked at the West Virginia State Capitol in Charleston.

Bland serves as communications director for the state Senate, and is known as a cat lover. On a recent Tuesday, Capitol security became aware of a constant mewing sound in the parking lot, and they located the animal under a parked car.

Bland was called to the scene and opened her hood. By this time, other curious bystanders had gathered in the parking lot.
