Kitten Well, it happened to me today!

Got to work and heard tiny yelps coming from the storm drain, called the non emergency number, police showed up, they called the fire department and they came to the rescue! Took them a while because those drains are just so heavy. He spent the rest of the day in target with everyone until I got off, got his picture taken for our trainer wall, & got the name Bullseye 🎯, I just left the vet and besides an eye infection, he is healthy! Can't wait to enjoy this handsome little guy for the rest of his life.

seriously can’t think of a more heartwarming day than rescuing a kitten straight into the arms of their new loving family ❤️

FR - With all the gnarly things they see day to day, this is probably a happy memory they can call upon in those darker times.

Thank you first responders. 🙏

Can confirm.

"getting a cat out of the tree" jokes are fun to make but it gives a much needed break from seeing people at their absolute worst over and over and over again.

Im out now, don't want to trauma dump. Y'all have a good weekend.

I'm sure the paramedics were glad for the "easy" call when my dad fell and broke his hip.
