A chilly kitty warms hearts at a fire station
The Steinbach Fire Department in Manitoba, Canada is used to helping people, but here’s the story of the time last year they helped out a very special kitten.
The six-month-old kitten showed up one day at their window. “Is this your kitten?” they asked on their Facebook page. “She has been hanging around the fire station all evening.”
But no one stepped up to claim the lost kitten, and as she began to settle in at the station, one of the firefighters decided to take care of her in his heated garage.
A Facebook reader gave her the perfect name: Ember. And so Ember took a trip to the veterinarian for an exam and all of her shots…
Followed by the dreaded bathtime.
But the fire department knew they couldn’t take care of her forever. Ember needed a home of her own and so she was adopted by a loving family.
Six months later, the fire department reported that Ember was thriving in her new home. “She’s an outdoor kitty at heart,” they wrote. “She loves hanging out in the backyard with us, and taking long naps during the day.”
“She meows for treats every night before bed. She’s super cuddly, loves curling up in anybody’s lap – even when they’re not a cat person.”

What a sweetie! Love her gorgeous long tail.
Looks like a bit of raccoon in there, eh?
that’s a beautiful feline! Such luxurious markings and coat!
“…She’s super cuddly, loves curling up in anybody’s lap – even when they’re not a cat person.”
Especially when they’re not a cat person.
Hee Hee – I noticed that also… some kitties have a wicked sense of humor… 🙂
