Rescued Kitten
Location: Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
I’m submitting this story for a friend of mine with his permission. He is a volunteer fire fighter and a cat lover. A link to his company’s website entry about this rescue is here. Here is his story:
“While we were out giving out candy to the Trick-Or-Treaters a call came in to station about a trapped cat at Stouffers (Country market). When we got there we saw that a kitten fell about 10 feet down a PVC pipe. Several attempts were made to use a hook under the kitten but after getting about half way up the kitten would fight with the hook and fall back down. We then decided to dig. We dug about 4 feet down and cut off the pipe to the bottom of the hole we dug. We tried again a few times while digging and finally when the kitten appeared to attack the pole it looked to be trying to climb the pole itself. When the kitten reached the top I grabbed it and cleaned it off from the shavings of PVC from sawing through pipe. There were employees of Stouffers there with a kitty carrier. The kitten was so scared it bit me several times and those needle like teeth went completely through my glove! Regardless, it is very cute! This is the third or fourth cat I have rescued or helped rescue… I have been dubbed the Cat Whisperer at the firehouse.”

When humans rescue the smallest of creatures, they are at their best. Thank you for helping the plight of this little baby. God bless!
What a great story! Thanks to the firefighter for saving the kitty, and thanks to whoever shared the story.
Wow! This brought tears to my eyes…what a great story. Thanks to the firefighters for the rescue. I hope this little guy finds a wonderful furever home!
Great story. Love it when good happens in the world. Hope the kitten has a good life.
Daily Kitten is the best thing I have on my front page. Check it every day. Have three cats of my own. One 14 years old and getting a bit senile and two that are a little over one year old. One of my one year olds is curled up to my left as I type.
You should join us on TDK chat..The link is in the upper right..
What a wonderful fireman you are! Such a gallant effort to save a little furry baby. There has to be a special place in heaven for people like you. Thank you for saving this little life.
Awwww the bigger the guy the bigger the heart
I knew there was a reason I love firemen 
Wonderful story! Firefighters are the best and Cat Whisperer is tops!
Have you hugged a fireman today?
I want to hug this one!
And that tiny precious rescued baby!
My fiance is a fireman…….
God bless you all and be safe.
xoxoxoxo
Yay for catwhisperer fireman!
What a great story!
When I had a fire in my apartment (many years ago) I had 19 cats and kittens (all purebred Balinese). The firemen and neighbors couldn’t have been more angelic pulling out two or three cats at a time and neighbors taking them to dry out at their apartments.
I bless all who help rescue victimes – two- legged and three-legged ones.
Peace, hugs and purrs.
*a standing ovation*
YAY for firemen and kitten whisperers! This is a wonderful story, a wonderful guy and an awsome little fuzzbutt!
*sniff*
what a cute little fur baby, so lucky to be rescued. I hope Rescued Kitty gets a wonderful Furrever home very soon!
<3
Chey
It’s election day in the good ole US. I vote for this kitten to be our next president!! FINALLY! Someone I could love and trust in the white house!
Got my Vote!

What a wonderfull story! I would call him Piper for sure! Thank you for saving such a great kitty! I love Cat whisperers, and kitty whisperers, and whisker whisperers too!
A great story with a great kitten! Yay!
When I hear “firefighter” I think “hero”. You have proved once again that there are true heros in life. Bless you for saving the kitten. (Maybe that means the kitty is meant for you to take home). **standing ovation to you and all firefighters**
Lucky kitty! Good job, Mr firemen!
I was born not far from the town where this happened and had relatives living there. Wonderful firefighter, to take so much time and care to save one little life.

What a sweet little furrbaby! And what an awesome firefighter. This rescue makes my day.
May God Bless this wonderful man and keep him safe as well as all those who risk their lives to help others.
SO cute awwww Hurray to Kitty SAVERS
This is my friend Cameron. I submitted his story to this site a few days ago and when I saw he made it today I freaked out. I called him right away and I could actually feel him blushing through the phone when I told him that he had women fighting over him. He’s such a great guy, and firefighters are just plain awesome in general.
p.s. He is a cutie, and yes, he is single! I’ll pass on any news about the kitten when I can.
Thank you so much for submitting this heartwarming story and please join us over at TDK chat..That way you can keep us updated on the kitten as well as the firefighter!
Hear that, girls? He is single, he’s a cutie, he’s a great guy, he loves cats and he’s a hero to boot. Form an orderly line please, no pushing… What a great story! And seriously, what a great group of firefighters!
TOO CUTE!!!!:)
Dear Kitten Whisperer…I’m in love with you and your kitten. Would you two consider moving to Texas???
