-A Story That Touched My Heart-
“The smallest feline,
Is a masterpiece.”
Leonardo da Vinci
I have rescued many kittens
But never one from a chimney
Firefighters saved this one’s life
And she has been named ‘Ashley’
A landlord had been inspecting his rental property
When he heard several anguished cries for help inside
Animal Services discovered a tiny kitten in his chimney
But they couldn’t free her, no matter how hard they tried
Several very compassionate firefighters soon arrived at the scene
They broke down the chimney wall, which held this kitten in place
She was only a few months old, and had barely escaped suffocation
Thick grey ash completely covered her entire body, and her furry face
Her valiant rescuers soon transported her over to the Humane Society
Where staff members gave her several baths to remove all of the ash
This cutie has now been spayed, and vaccinated, and micro-chipped
Truly adorable, eager to be adopted, and freed from her prison, at last
I have rescued many kittens,
But never one from a chimney;
Firefighters saved this one’s life,
And she has been named ‘Ashley.’
Each and every feline and tiny kitten,
Is indeed, a truly unique masterpiece;
And, each and every one I have rescued,
Has brought so much love and joy, to me.
I’ve rescued them from parking lots and rooftops,
From dark alleys, dumpsters, and crawl spaces;
And like little Ashley, all of these newborn kittens,
Have touched my heart with their tiny, furry faces.
Each and every Spring, is also ‘Kitten Season,’
There are so many out there, in need of a home;
Please consider adopting one from a local shelter,
And allow a tiny masterpiece into your heart to roam.
