Bottle Baby #24, #25, and #26 of Kitten Season 2025 arrived before we even had the chance to introduce you to Bottle Baby #23! We’re so glad to be able to join some of our hometown heroes, City of Jesup Fire Department and WE CARE Low Cost Spay & Neuter Clinic, to help save three precious lives. Great things happen when good people work together! That’s the power of COMMUNITY! 🎉🐈⬛🎉
‼️WARNING: Heartwarming Story‼️
Yesterday was one of those days that felt like anything that could go wrong, would go wrong. But in the midst of it all we had a surprise visit from a firefighter from next door. He brought us 3 teeeeny tiny kittens that a Good Samaritan had dropped of with them, after the kittens' mamma had been hit by a car. As he was explaining the backstory of the kittens and his soft spot for animals, his radio went off and the sirens started wailing from the station next door. He abruptly apologized and darted out the door just in time to flag down one of the two firetrucks leaving the station and hopped in. Off to render aid to someone in need.
After assessing the kittens, we determined they couldn't be much more than 2 weeks old, and would need a very special person to dedicate the next month of their life to bottle feeding them every few hours, night and day. But fortune shined brightly, as when Fabucats of Wayne County heard about the kittens, they didn't hesitate to take them in. I think the exact words were, "Oh come on guys, you know no one else will take them. We've already got 3 bottle babies, what's 3 more."
It's heartwarming stories like these that really highlight how special of a community this is. From the individual who knew not where to turn but the fire station to seek assistance, to the firefighter that went beyond his call of duty to ensure the kittens were in good care, and to the selfless rescuers who are already doing so much, yet continue to take on more. We appreciate each and every one of you.
We urge you to be kind, to thank your local firefighters, and while you're at it go and check out the page of FabuCats for information on what they do and how to donate, volunteer, foster, or adopt through their rescue.
