A Cobb County firefighting crew saved a 6-week-old kitten from a cold Marietta rooftop Wednesday morning and now the small survivor is destined for farm life.
A 911 call was made before 9 a.m. April 1 about a kitten frozen to the shingle roof of a home in The Gardens of East Cobb apartment complex off Delk Road, according to firefighter and paramedic Nick Danz, public information officer for Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services.
“It was literally frozen to the shingle,” Danz said of the kitten. “Firefighter Nick Ribal quickly rushed to the roof to remove the kitten where they immediately took it back to the station to revive it.”
The female kitten quickly recovered, having been given oxygen, warmed in towels, and fed milk and cat food, Danz said.
