Thanks to the concerns of an eyewitness who saw a litter of kittens who were on a rooftop drain gutter in Coalinga California on Tuesday July 16 that needed to be rescued. The Coalinga Police contacted Animal Control where Officer Jonathan Bell after several persons attempted to rescue the kittens. Officer Bell was able to rescue three of the five kittens who were in the rooftop drain gutter safely since two of the kittens were able to escape. Officer Bell then took the three kittens to the Gimme Some Loving Animal Shelter where hopefully they will be able to find a loving home soon. Link is upi.com/6011172124333 via @upi

Mother cats are always hiding their kittens away and it puts them in peril at times. The thought is in the right place. I hope they find a good home.

That is a good question how the kittens got up in the rooftop drain in the first place.

It was good that someone spotted them up that high, before one of them fell off, and that they were all rescued safely. Cats can get into strange places, at times.
