At this point, we may need to change our name to the El Paso Kitten Department… 🐈 Like if you agree! 👍🏼
Our crew from P24 B-Shift is back at it with another kitten rescue! This time, a tiny kitten became trapped inside the wall of a home. Crews were able to safely locate the kitten and carefully cut a small opening in the shower tile to bring it to safety. The homeowner was incredibly grateful, and we’re proud of our crews for another swift and successful rescue! 👏🏻
Kitten season is definitely in full swing! For more information and resources regarding stray cats and kittens, reach out to our friends at 🤝🏻

This is what makes our community thrive, when we come together to shape the future. We aim to serve, to inspire, and to show these kids that anything is possible. 🙌🏻
