Kittens and South El Monte
I know I know, what do kittens have to do with City Hall? Sorry, but we just couldn’t resist the uncontrollable urge to blog about rescued kitties.
Go ahead, read on, you know you want to:
SOUTH EL MONTE - Four kittens were rescued from an unattended vehicle on fire near the entrance of the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area in South El Monte, authorities said today.
The California Highway Patrol said it began receiving reports that a vehicle was ablaze on Rooks Road at Peck Road shortly after 11 p.m.
Arriving CHP officers found the front of a parked sport utility vehicle engulfed in flames, a CHP officer told an RMG News camera crew at the scene.
The officer added that he did a quick search around the vehicle and heard noises coming from its rear. Checking more closely, he spotted a box holding four kittens in the back of the SUV and, with the interior of the vehicle burning, pulled the animals to safety, he said.
Los Angeles County firefighters arrived a short time later and put out the flames, leaving the SUV a charred ruin, RMG reported.
I guess firefighters aren't the only ones with a knack for kitten rescue.

Who would so heartless as to dump four helpless baby kitten in South El Monte? I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the news and then read your story to boot. What happened to the mother cat? Is she still out there alone searching for her babies? I hope that this nasty person saw the news and thanks God that these little ones were saved.
