Cat, Kittens Found Alive in WTC Rubble

While the chance of finding any survivors in the World Trade Center
rubble vanished long ago, there is a survivor story.

A cat apparently trapped under the debris has been found alive,
with a new litter of three kittens.

Mom with one of her babies.

Rescuers found the cats curled up in a carton of napkins.
They were in the basement of what used to be a restaurant
at the World Trade Center.

Rescue workers rushed mom and the kittens to a vet.

Mom was thin and dehydrated, however,
vets say all of the cats will be just fine.
