We know life is filled with the unexpected. The same holds true for animals, especially ones in perilous situations. Just when all hope seems lost, good people step up and come to their aid. That is why stories of animal rescues are the best! Cats are known for their bendy bodies, making it easy to become trapped, especially when scared. This tale focuses on a kitten who found herself in quite the predicament. But thanks to kind folks who wouldn’t give up on her, she is alive and well today. Read on to learn about her story and her awesome rescue.
Upon returning home from a 12-day trip, a homeowner in Long Island made a startling discovery. She was met with the desperate cries of a kitten in distress but couldn’t pinpoint where the sounds were coming from. Unsure of the source, she reached out for assistance.
Animal rescuers John Debacker and Deb Oliver quickly responded, arriving at the house ready to rescue the kitten. After searching, they traced the cries to the fireplace. The poor kitten had accidentally fallen 15 feet down from the top of the chimney, landing behind the cement wall at the bottom. Trapped for days, the kitten waited helplessly, uncertain if help would ever arrive.
Debacker and Oliver wasted no time, using hammers and crowbars to break through the wall. After some effort, they spotted the kitten’s tiny face peeking through the rubble. Acting quickly, Debacker grabbed her by the scruff and pulled her to safety.
Despite the ordeal, the kitten remained in surprisingly good spirits. She was instantly loving with an upbeat demeanor. Once freed, the little feline eagerly devoured some food, relieved to be in safe hands after her traumatic experience.
After her rescue, the kitten was transferred to Catpurrccinos, a local cat rescue, where she soon made friends with another kitten around her age. Now, she is on the path to a brighter, safer future, surrounded by care and companionship.
These poor kitties were rescued from an animal cruelty case where they were starved, locked in cages with inches of feces, and received no water or food. Now, these cats need your help!
Thanks to the quick actions of these dedicated rescuers, the kitten now has a second chance at life, and her story serves as a heartwarming reminder of the compassion and dedication that goes into animal rescue efforts. To see the kitten’s rescue, check out the video below.
