Office Employees Hear Meowing Coming from the Ceiling, Find Several Kittens Stuck and Abandoned in the Vents

When pregnant cats prepare to give birth they find the perfect place to do it—the most important thing is for them to feel safe. Stray cats will find a discarded box somewhere, maybe a snug spot under someone's deck, a confined garage, etc. Sometimes this can get them into some trouble because cats don't know that this warm covered snug spot is actually the engine of a car, etc. 

Recently, TikToker “Mr. Jones” posted a video that went viral of kittens being found in the air-conditioning vents of the office he works in. The video shows the maintenance guy pulling them out from above. He had to removed the ceiling boards and cut open the tin vents. He puts his arm deep into the now-broken vent and pulls out multiple kittens mewing in fear. 

Maintenance Guy Rescues Kittens

Apparently, earlier they found two other kittens who had fallen off the roof, but were fine. They thought that was it and continued on with their work. Then the TikTok started playing cat meows from his computer as a prank on the rest of the office, but when he did, they started to hear real meowing in the ceiling. They got the maintenance guy and found several more kittens. Now the workers are on high alert for more abandoned kittens around the office. 

Unfortunately, they have not found the mama cat yet. They are keeping an eye out for her, because it's likely she is panicking trying to find her babies. But it would appear she is good at staying incognito. Mama cats usually stay with their babies when they're born, but need to eventually leave to feed. That's why it is so important for them to find a safe haven to give birth. This mama probably left them after being with them for days because she needed substance in order to continue taking care of her babies.

TikTokers love the rescue story, but are still concerned for the mama. “Poor Mama, she's probably worried 💔,” one viewer commented. “Mama cat will return to the places she hid the kittens to be safe, she'll come back looking for them I'm sure," another said. Others gave lots of advice on how to lure and capture mama kitty so he can reunite the family. There hasn't been another update yet, but TikTokers are holding their breath to get these office babies back with their mama.
