FEATURE - Tierrettung: Drei kleine Kätzchen unter Dielen eines Abbruchhauses entdeckt
Tierrettung: Drei kleine Kätzchen unter Dielen eines Abbruchhauses entdeckt / 240718 *** One of the kittens after the rescue. See NTI story NTIKITTENS; Kittens rescued after builders heard their cries from walls and under floorboards Three tiny kittens are being cared for by Blue Cross pet charity after they were discovered under floorboards and in the wall of a restaurant that was being demolished in Reading. George Harman and his team discovered the kittens as they were working on the former restaurant in Cane End. The builders were carrying out end of day checks on the derelict building which they were set to demolish when they heard tiny cries coming from inside. The team set about finding where the noises were coming from and on looking down a hole in the floorboards in the building found a tiny black kitten crying for its mother. When the cries continued the team set about carefully cutting and removing floorboards and half an hour later came across a second kitten some 10 metres away from its sibling. George Harman, Project Manager at Bellwood Homes, said: “The third kitten was THE challenge. We had heard more cries in the room but then there was silence. When it started crying again we managed to trace the noise to a bay window. We removed more and more flooring but we still couldn’t see a kitten anywhere. We could still hear the cries and then we realised they were coming from inside the wall. “We started to remove each block by hand, gently tapping the blocks with a hammer trying to loosen them without causing any disruption or discomfort to the kitten. We removed 10 concrete blocks in total to find that a third kitten had somehow got into the cavity of the building.” The whole rescue effort took the team around three hours before all the kittens were safely removed. *** Local Caption *** / action press
