Another Aww Story....Mama Cat Saves Her Own Kittens in Fire

Tweet

I just came across this story...it's actually a month old, but the story goes is that a mother cat and her one-week old kittens were trapped inside a burning house in the El Paso County area. By watching the video you can see that it was a pretty horrific fire, yet somehow mother cat and her kittens came out of it alive. The mother cat saved her own kittens by taking them to a back room of the house, hiding them under a board and shielded them with her own body The mother cat and kittens were found and rescued by the fireman and were placed with a person who became their foster care person. The cats are now named...Sadie..who is the mother cat, and Abby and Lennon (the kittens). Here's the article: (Quote) [i]A cat and her one-week-old kittens were trapped inside a burning house at the beginning of August in eastern El Paso County. "The mom took the kittens into the back room. She laid over the kittens and a volunteer firefighter found them under a board," said John Swetman with Dreampower Animal Rescue. Now, 6 weeks later, Sadie's maternal instincts become a remarkable story about survival. Little Abby and Lennon are alive and well, living in foster care with their mom. "They were all named after Beatles; Abby for Abbey Roads, Sweet Sadie, and of course, little Lennon," said Ron Diltz, the foster dad of the three cats. "They’re sweet and playful. We call her adventerous Abbey," said Julie Dudman, the foster mom. While Abbey and Lennon play, Sadie watches. She has no idea that she's a hero. She was just following her motherly instinct and keeping her little ones safe. All three will be up for adoption through Dreampower Animal Rescue next week. Three dogs and another cat that's pregnant were also rescued from the fire. They will be up for adoption soon.[/i] Here is the link to the article...AND WATCH THE VIDEO...those kitties are adorable http://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/28636999.html# {This is not a referral link but a link to the article of this story} This is so reminiscent of that story that happened years ago...about Scarlet..another momma cat who also saved her litter of kittens from a fire and was rescued..that incident occurred in the Brooklyn section of NYC Okay I'm a real softie about hearing stories like this...wonderful to know animal mothers have that instinct to save their little ones, isn't it? Heck, animal mothers I think sometimes make better moms than humans do in some cases
