One day this summer, Tiffany was playing in
her neighbour’s back yard when she heard some noise coming from the
back yard stone barbecue pit. Upon closer inspection, she discovered
four tiny kittens snuggled in an enclosed area near the top of the pit.
Apparently, the mother cat, which was always “hanging around’ the
Meunier home looking for handouts, had been missing for several day. It
was determined that a fox had killed it, thus leaving the kittens facing
certain death. Kay and Rich Meunier helped their daughters
bring the kittens into the house and contacted Jessica’s mother, Lina,
for assistance. Together, the two families shared the kittens every
other day or two, hand-feeding the young animals every four hours for
almost two months in order to help them survive against the odds. The
labour of love worked and soon they had found homes for all four
kittens. “It was quite an experience for all of
us,” stated Rich Meunier when recalling what the girls had done. “It
was nice for the girls to take part in saving the lives of the kittens.
They really worked hard and accepted the responsibilities. It made them
feel good to see that their work paid off.” |
