It is early morning around 3:00 and about an hour ago, I received a distress call from a woman with broken English. Hard to understand, but the gist of it was she heard kittens meowing in the living room and couldn’t find out where. Off I went after being told she had called everyone she thought she should have called only to be told the momcat would probably come back and move them to safety.

Turns out the kittens were stuck in the flue of the fireplace! Thank Heaven’s it wasn’t cold enough to build a fire! I now have an aching back and a crick in my neck, but am thankful to have rescued 4…2-3 weeks old black kittens. They were ice cold and I rushed them back here, gave them warming fluids, warm milk, put them directly on a heating pad. They are weak but hungry which is a good sign. I just gave each of them some Karo syrup and warmed coffee to help jumpstart cold organs and am about to fall in bed. Please pray they make it through the night-
