Who put a kitten behind the drywall?

We all know that cats possess the rare talent of finding themselves in the most bizarre situations. Just last week, our cat managed to jump behind the fridge, and of course, he then couldn't get out. In a matter of seconds, he started screaming at the top of his lungs for someone to come to his rescue. Obviously, we let him out of the little prison he got stuck in as soon as we could, but that still didn't stop him from trying to jump back in there 10 minutes later. These fiesty felines love the challenge, even if they then require a human to get them out of the mess they made.

To be fair, we don't know how the kitten in the story below managed to get stuck behind drywall, but we are sure it wasn't her fault, since it doesn't even look like she was more than a week old. Either way, a construction worker found this kitten in a bathtub behind a wall of drywall, and he knew he had to save the little baby as soon as possible.

After he managed to rescue the kitten and get her out of the construction site, he took her to the only place he could count on–home, right to the arms of his loving wife. At home, the wife set eyes on the tiny kitten in distress and immediately started working on helping her recover from the experience. Together, this awwdorable couple did everything to make sure the kitten sees another day. After a few days of close monitoring and nursing, the kitten finally started showing signs of recovery. By then, the couple already decided they were going to keep the baby and started introducing her to the rest of the family.

We're not sure if a life as an indoor cat will necessarily keep this kitten out of trouble, but we know her loving hoomans would do anything to make sure she is always safe and healthy. We're just happy she is out of the drywall and has a loving home to recover in.
