Cat parent of 4 rescues a soot-covered kitten who was stuck in their chimney: ‘It wasn't until the emergency vet cleaned him up some that we saw he was black and white’

I know it's only Septem-purr, but it appears Santa Claws has come early this year. So much for a white Christmas!

When you were little, what was the one thing you wished Santa would bring you on the 25th? Was it a pony or a puppy? Or, perhaps, something a bit more feline? Santa doesn't always grant our Christmas wish (because that's what keeps us writing letters), so it's only fitting that the cat owner in this story receives a pre-Christmas gift in her chimney. No, it wasn't a sleigh or a pouch full of presents. It was a bushy-tailed kitty cat who was black, white, and cute all over!

We can't all be so lucky, but it seems like the cat distribution system has been working overtime to spread some early Christmas cheer. The cat owner explains that three years ago, this little furry baby was trapped in their chimney. Eventually, the cat emerged, and they expected him to cower in fear. Boy, were they wrong.

Instead of running away and hissing, the cat stayed put and assured the owners that he was here to stay. Where's the milk and cookies?! Check out the photos below to see how he went from a gray kitten to a black and white king.
