Men Rescue Kittens from Hornets Nest


Recently, a West Fargo, N.D. man named Jim Johnson and his assistant Eric saved the lives of three helpless three-week old kittens as the kittens were being attacked by swarming hornets.  Johnson, who was making a delivery at a cabin near Detroit Lakes, heard the kittens crying and followed the sound to the window well of a garage.  There he found the three tiny kittens covered in hornets.  Stinging hornets were crawling out of the kittens' ears and embedded in their skin.  Two of the kittens were already unconscious.

Johnson was bitten more than 20 times during the rescue, including a bite from one of the kittens.  Unfortunately, one of the kittens did not survive the attack.  The two remaining kittens are receiving veterinary care and are being fostered by Jim Johnson and his wife.  He has received several adoption inquiries, thanks to all the media coverage, and when the kittens are two months old he will be placing them in a home together.  And yes he will be carefully screening candidates to make sure the kittens are altered and continue to receive necessary veterinary care.

Jim Johnson and his assistant braved a hornets nest, without hesitation, to rescue three tiny kittens in need.  And that is why they are most definitely Fabulous on Friday!
