This Man’s Quick Thinking Saved The Lives Of Three Little Kittens When He Used His Warm Coffee To Set Them Free From The Ice
Coffee usually just gets people through the morning, but in one snowy Alberta roadside rescue, it ended up helping save three tiny lives. Kendall Diwisch, an oil worker from Drayton Valley, was out doing a routine well inspection when he heard frantic meowing and found three stray kittens in trouble.
Two of the kittens had their tails frozen to the ground, and the cold was already putting them at serious risk. With no rescue gear nearby, Diwisch had to think fast, and the only thing warm enough to help was the coffee in his car.
What happened next turned a routine workday into a viral animal rescue story. Read on.
Canadian Kendall Diwisch came across three kittens with their tails frozen to the ground.

Poor little kittens couldn’t move and were in danger of freezing to death.

Thinking quickly, he poured warm coffee on the ice and melted it.

When he saw what was happening, he went to his car to find something to melt the ice. Luckily, he had some warm coffee left over, so he started pouring it on their tails. The poor kittens instinctively began to drink the coffee, but it wasn’t enough to have any negative effects.
There wasn’t enough coffee to complete the job, so he had to give it a little pull. He managed to free their tails without harming the kittens.
Diwisch later posted his little adventure on Facebook, and it quickly went viral.

A quick rescue turned into a story people wanted to share.
He took them home to warm them up and gave them food.

Diwisch brought the kittens to his house, where they were warm and fed. He also dewormed them because he was planning to give them up for adoption.
He believes that the kittens had been frozen there for the whole night, and they were fortunate that someone happened to pass by before they froze to death.
The video shows how it all happened.
Three cute furballs found new homes quickly after the post was shared.

Because Diwisch’s story went viral so quickly, it wasn’t very hard to find a good, loving home for these three kittens. He received numerous inquiries. Cause for Critters, a local animal shelter, posted that the family who adopted them is also from Drayton Valley.
We just couldn’t imagine a better ending to this story.
On Thanksgiving, this family saved a freezing kitten the same way, with quick action to prevent tragedy.
People on the internet were thrilled by this guy’s actions.
