My wife owns an office building that she rents out. Wednesday, she gets a call that there is a meowing coming from the closet, behind the drywall. There is no crawlspace, but last Friday, our contractor was doing some wall repairs and slight remodeling right in that part of the building. Again, he finished Friday. When her tenant came back in on Tuesday(closed memorial day), she heard the meowing, but didn't say anything about it until Wednesday. Anyway, she knocked out the drywall to get to them...two little newborn kittens. Normally there are more than 2 in a litter, but there was no sign of any more kittens or their mother. I theorize that these 2 became separated during the remodeling, and were sealed up in the drywall....for nearly 5 days!!!!!!! I can't believe they were still alive.
They were dehydrated, and hungry hungry hungry. They have teeth which puts them around the 2-3 week mark, but the black one only weighs 6oz. 5 days trapped in a wall, every time I think of that I am just astonished they made it. They are not out of the woods yet but we are hopeful that they will pull through.
I have them on KMR and a few supplements due to their young age. I will try to get them off the bottle next week. With all the bad news around here lately, I thought we could use a little miracle story. Here they are this afternoon eating
