Firefighters Save Litter Of Kittens From Tree
http://tinyurl.com/2elfl BILLINGS, Mont. -- Billings firefighters usually don't do pet rescues, but Battalion Chief Tim Bergstrom said they agreed to respond to the pleas of a city resident whose cat had a litter of kittens in a tree. The woman called a veterinarian for advice, and he confirmed her worst fears. She was told if the five tiny newborns were left to the elements, they might not survive nighttime cold. But if they did, the sightless babies would probably fall out of the tree once they became mobile. Bergstrom said it was getting dark and the woman had tried everything else, so he agreed to the animal rescue. The chief said an aerial ladder was maneuvered into the tree and firefighters with a bucket retrieved the five kittens, perched in the crook of the tree 40 feet off the ground. Bergstrom said the mother cat wasn't too happy that anyone had touched the kittens, but was calmer when the kittens were safely on the ground. And he said it was a happy ending for everyone -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

Magic Mood Jeep© had something important to tell us on Thu, 15 Apr

Good grief! Couldn't she have found a better place to hide than that! I'm glad they got them all down safely, because as soon as those kittens started 'exploring' they'd take a very nasty nosedive -- Karen AKA Kajikit Here kitty kitty kitty... visit http://www.catslaves.org!
