A week ago our guard heard a faint meow. Figuring it was one of our cats, he asked the girls about it. Since the girls knew the cats were sleeping inside, our guard discovered the sound coming from our property wall.
Inside and between our cement wall and our neighbor’s cement wall was a tiny kitten whom had been dropped by its mother between the two walls and abandoned. And thus began a rescue mission.
The rescue mission required a rake being lowered into the wall with a small plastic container taped to the end with tuna in it. With the bait set, Matt and the guard coaxed the reluctant kitten toward the tuna dish the the aid of two extremely long sticks and prepared to pull up our homemade elevator.
Kitten’s level of fear was not in our favor but patience proved this successful victory:

She was petrified, hungry and had one eye gunked shut, but within a few hours she was flea free, fed and settled. And a week later with still no sighting of her mom, we named her Heidi. … for she was hiding in the wall. 😉
Welcome home, Heidi.
Family suits you well.
Awww…so happy that Heidi was rescued! A new kitten for the girls. Love you all.
