After getting treatment for burns from the massive wildfire, a few of the kittens were reunited with their owners.
A Texas Game Warden made a lucky discovery this week, rescuing a litter of black kittens injured by the flames of the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire. Game Warden Sarah Wennersten was searching through the scorched remains of the biggest wildfire in Texas history when she came across a kitten, the Texas Game Wardens said on social media. Two of its siblings followed close behind. Wennersten followed the trail of kittens and found that one had an injured paw and singed fur from the fire.
The tiny trooper was checked out by the Texas A&M Veterinary Emergency Team, which determined there were no life-threatening injuries. Named “Big Boy” by the veterinary team, the kitten and three of his siblings were placed in the team’s care for treatment. The owners had a heartwarming reunion with their furry friends on Thursday, but Big Boy will be getting some extra attention for his severe burns at a local veterinarian.
