I am a Medically retired/disabled fire rescue captain who long ago used to be laughed at made fun of etc because I was willing to risk my life even for people's pets! I have an immense love for cats after rescuing a mom and her litter of 6 kittens from a house fire when the little girl who owned them tried to run back in after them herself! I ran back in and several minutes later I emerged with a flaming box full of kittens. All of the kittens and the mother survived, but one kitten was hurt so badly they wanted to put it down simply because of the cost to treat her! My station mates and I could not allow this so we banded together and managed to treat the kitten, she was a yellowed eyed orange tabby I named Tigger. When she was well enough I took her home where I had her until she passed away from illnesses related to the fire 9 years later! This is how Fire Fighter Cat and Kitten Rescue was born! When I started it I had 6 people help me but now 6 years later it is just me & 20+ cats
