Cockpit Kittens: Litter of Five Born in Historic PlaneThe Hickory Aviation Museum in Hickory, North Carolina, has a display of historic aircraft on the tarmac at their facility on the grounds of Hickory Regional Airport. Last month, one of the employees checked out funny noises coming from their Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. A look inside revealed nothing going on, but then a close look at a picture he took revealed cats in the cockpit. A cat had taken shelter in the plane and had given birth to a litter of five kittens! The family had gone undetected until the kittens were old enough to start running around. The mother cat is a gray feral that had been seen hanging around the airport. All five kittens were eventually trapped and were taken to the Humane Society of Catawba County. They will be available for adoption in December. The museum crew and the Humane Society are still trying to trap the mother cat so she can join the kittens at the shelter -and be spayed. -via People​(Image credit: Hickory Aviation Museum) #cat #kitten #plane #museum

Dog Resists Affectionate Kittens For As Long as PossibleKiwi was the only child in his family until the day his mom Océane found two abandoned kittens. The big dog was shocked when he first met the kittens Machu and Picchu, and regarded them as maybe some kind of vermin. But Mom was letting them stay around, so he tolerated them. Meanwhile, the kittens really wanted to be friends! Both of them pestered Kiwi mercilessly wanting to play. They were half grown before Kiwi suddenly decided Machu and Picchu weren't so bad after all, and they became snuggle buddies for good. See more of Kiwi and the kittens at TikTok.#dog #cat #kitten #interspeciesfriendship
Firefighter Saved a Kitten Stuck Inside an ATM and Named It "Cash"Does your name have a story behind it? Well, this kitten's name definitely has a tale.The Regions Bank in Fort Smith, Arkansas enlisted the help of the  Fort Smith Fire Department on July 7, 2022, when they found a tiny kitten stuck inside an ATM machine. Although they were uncertain about how the kitten ended up inside the machine, the rescuers did a great job saving the cat.  The animal was brought to the Fort Smith Animal Haven where it was found to be dehydrated and starving. At first, the kitten was a little bit aloof which may have been from fright. Later the tiny kitty became a little more friendly.Because of its story, the kitten was named Cash. What a purr-fect name, right? ​Image credit: 5NEWS#Kitten #Animals #Rescue #FireFighters #FortSmith
Kitten Rescued from Pepsi Vending MachineLindsay Russell was taking a break from her job at Walmart in Morristown, Tennessee, when she heard a noise coming from the soda vending machine. There was a kitten inside! Russell reached in but couldn't grasp the kitten. Her co-workers tried, too, but had no better luck. Then the employees called the Morristown Fire Department, while the kitten continued to mewl in distress. Firefighters unplugged the Pepsi machine and partially dismantled it, and ended up coaxing the kitten out through the machinery. The operation took about ten minutes after the fire department arrived. Firefighters joked that the kitten should be named "Pepsi." Russell, an animal lover, took their advice to heart and took little Pepsi home as her own. You can read the entire story at CNN. -via reddit​(Image credit: City of Morristown - Government) #cat #kitten #rescue
Fostering a Tiny VenusVenus was born premature and oh, so tiny! Which just makes her eyes look so much bigger. She and her littermate Valentina were immediately abandoned by their mother. Danielle is a cat foster mom, and fed and cuddled the kittens around the clock. Unfortunately, Valentina didn't make it. Just a couple of days later, Venus opened her eyes for the first time. Danielle cared for Venus for 114 days. In that time, she went from a tiny partially-hairless clump with medical problems to a thriving kitten with lots of love to give. See a gallery of Venus pictures, culminating in a portrait with her forever family, at Instagram.#cat #kitten #fostermom #premature #rescue
Hospital Staff Saves KittenDuring shift change last Sunday night at Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton, New Jersey, some of the nurses heard a cry from the sewer behind the ambulance bay. A kitten had fallen in! It was all hands on deck in the emergency department. Trauma nurses, EMTs, and other staff members, about 15 people in all, worked to remove the grate. Then they jumped down into the drain and lured the kitten out of hiding with turkey and cat food. The entire operation took about two hours, a sizable commitment from a group of people who had just finished their hospital shifts. Trauma nurse Heather Hendrickson quickly swaddled the kitten like a newborn baby to secure him. Another nurse had happened to be looking for a kitten for her family, and agreed to adopt the kitten. He is now named Trent, after the city of Trenton. -via Fark​(Screenshot from WPVI) #cat #kitten #rescue

The Joys of Parenting, for AnimalsThis cat daddy couldn't keep his eyes open after putting up with four rambunctious kittens all day! We know one child will exhaust you, and some animals have up to a dozen at a time. Yes, cats and dogs and other animals love their offspring, but just like humans, they become exasperated by these uncivilized youngsters who just want to eat and play all the time.
