Mechanics at a Birmingham scrap yard heard loud kitty cries from the an old Porsche as it was lowered into a scrap metal crusher. They immediately stopped the machine and jumped into action.
After inspecting the vehcle, they discovered four tiny kittens only days old, huddling by the spare tire.
“We bought the car from a private owner who wanted the money for scrap. The car had been in our yard for about two weeks until we drained the fluid down and prepared it for the crusher,” said Manager Carl Dowling via Daily Mail. They believe that the kittens were born in the car to a feral cat who lives near the scrapyard, and later abandoned her litter. “The car was about to go into the big crusher to be turned into a square block of scrap… They were literally a few seconds from going into the crusher… The poor kittens were in such a sorry state, they were tiny and you could tell their eyes were straining from the bright light after being stuck in the dark…. They were very thin, so we gave them milk and they seem to be doing well,” said Stan Baldwin via Daily Mail.
They are fostering the kittens in the manager’s office until they can find them their forever loving homes.

You guys are HEROES, glad that you were all paying attention and heard the kitties cries.It will take some work with the kitties, but they all will be just fine, God bless!
Thank God there were 4 kittens crying because I don’t think they would’ve heard crying. I’m happy they found them just in time! Hope they find a forever home soon!!

Wow, what a handsome man holding an armful of fur babies! Such a wonderful story and I hope all the kitties have a happy ending in forever homes.

Armful of kittens is a wonderful picture! Thanks to all the guys for saving them!
Oh my goodness, I am so glad they were rescued in the nick of time!
The cutie hooman hugging 5 kittens has my vote for the chaps & cats calender pin-up ^-^
The other 2 guys appear charming & cute too… something about guys & cat combination which makes guys extra-attractive!
I second that!!
Where are u cat’s Mama? TT
you are heroes guys…thank youuu veryy much!! ^_^
These guys are fantastic. Such great people!
Awesome story.. those babies would have almost certainly died without you guys. Your animal heros in my book.
What a miracle these gentle men saved them. I wonder if the mom abandoned them or was out looking for food. It is such a rough life for a feral mother cat. I wish there were more happy endings for them.
You guys will be blessed a thousand times over for stoping ur crusher just in the nick of time! I think you need to keep at least 2 of these babies to always remind u it’s the littlest things in life that count the most!
I think one of the kittens names should be “Crusher” or maybe “Scraper!”
Love u guys!!
Way to go, gentlemen. May you be blessed a thousand times over.
Nothing is hotter than protecting kittens, guys. Bunches of love and respect!
Great story. Wish everyone were so caring and kind.
They are so aaaaaawwwwwwww so cute
I just love the pictures of the big, tough, strong guys with the sweet, teeny-tiny kittens. Now those are real men.
I’m so glad they found them!! I live in Birmingham and was surprised to know this happened so close to me! God bless the workers of the scrapyard!Bless the little kitties as well! <3
