Two tiny kittens were rescued from drowning in an oil spill by a kind young man.
“My soul could not stand the cries, I went to see,” he said via The Siberian Times. “You never know what is going on, I had to check.”
“I waded as far as possible in big boots and discovered a terrible sight. In the flooded house a wooden board was floating, with these two kittens clinging on for their lives with their paws. One was up to its neck in the oil.”
“Without hesitation I went after them. I was up to my waist in the oil. The ground was giving way, my wading boots were full of water mixed with oil, but I didn’t care.”
“I was rushing to save the kittens. I picked them up, hugged them, and carried them to the shore, where I wrapped them in a T-shirt to warm them up,” he said.
The kittens were covered in thick black gunky oil and were very lucky to be saved. They are now recovering and are doing quite well. They have even befriended Anatoly’s dog who helps take care of the fur babies.
“A few days earlier I rescued people and equipment when a boat overturned, this day it was kittens,” he said.
From out of the ashes, miracle of a rescue!
