A mother cat and her week-old kittens are safe and sound after workers rescued them from a hollowed-out tree trunk in Wolcott.
The Wolcott Dog Pound said a resident discovered the furry family holed up in a rotted-out tree on Tuesday and called animal control for help.
The cats were wedged too far down for officials to get them out, so they padded the hole with blankets and towels and brought in a tree expert to saw off the trunk, according to the pound.
The mother cat and kittens are now at the Wolcott Dog Pound and are doing just fine.
