After a torrential rain that we had this past Wednesday(07-23-2014)one of our local Fire Stations answered a rescue call in a small neighborhood to save a Tabby kitten from what could have been little Tabby's demise.
The kitten was lost in an approximate 100 ft. line of sewer pipe & these courageous men of Fire Station N0 4 saved the day. That's right, Tabby was set free & quite possibly saved from one of it's "13" lives!
Unfortunately,little Houdini escaped after being placed in a carrier, to be transferred to a safer place, & remains on the loose. Hopefully,the kitty found it's way home. But, just in case,Little Houdini is a grey & white Tabby,maybe 6 mos. old, & was sporting tags(a red heart tag,a blue tag,& a black tag bearing Columbia,Mo.).
He or She belongs to someone out there.
Kudos to those brave Firemen of Station N0 4.
