Remember the Movie, The Rescuers, from the late 70s? It was about a couple of mice from ‘The Rescue Aid Society’ who find a message in a bottle and set out to save an orphan, Penny. Here is what Penny said when they found her:
Penny: Didn't you bring somebody big with you? Like the police?
Bernard: Uh, no. There's just, uh - the two of us.
Bianca: But if the three of us work together and we have a little faith...
Penny: That's what Rufus said: "Faith makes things turn out right."
Several weeks ago, my sister-in-law Sheilah noticed that one of her outdoor cats, who was pregnant, showed up one day and was not pregnant anymore. She searched for several days and finally found the kittens. The mother cat had the kittens in the 24 inch storm pipe that goes under their driveway.
There was a cold front and some rain coming in later that week so it was imperative to get the kittens out before the flash flooding occured. My brother Robert and her spent over 2 hours making the rescue. Sheilah had to crawl completely inside the pipe. Her feet were about 3 feet inside the pipe. He said 'It was scary for both of us but mostly for Sheilah'. When I asked if he got a picture he said ‘I was thinking that would have been a little rude if she was in the pipe and I said hold that pose.’
All three kittens and mama cat are safely residing in their garage. "Faith makes things turn out right."
