Our work requires us to improvise all the time and this time we had an unusual animal, and also help from the SMART Team. It is almost GIVING TUESDAY and I really hope you will join our team with a small donation using the DONATE button here on YouTube or on our website: https://www.HopeForPaws.org (Here you can also get your own Lucky Leash!)
Special thanks to the people working at the immigration building for spotting the kittens down in the river and for knowing to call Hope For Paws for help. Loreta Frankonyte and I started this mission together, and then JoAnn Wiltz joined us, and then the SMART Team from L.A Animal Services - it was a really cool rescue.
Thank you so much for sharing our videos - this is how more and more people are learning about our work and this is how more and more animals are getting rescued.
Oh, wait. I see something there.
That looks like a rat.
Oh, you're skinny. That's not fair.
Oh, no.
Oh, yes. Oh, I'm too fat for this.
Okay. Wait, it's a rat.
It is a rat.
Oh.
It's breathing.
Oh, good. We're a cheerleading team.
Yeah, just don't call the police.
No.
Hey.
Lorena?
Yeah?
Will you please throw me the plastic crate?
Yes.
I'll secure him first so he doesn't run away and...
All right.
His eyes all of a sudden are wide open.
Yeah, he's scared.
No, no, I know.
But it's just saying he may make a run for it.
Okay.
It's okay, baby.
It's okay, sweetie pie.
It's okay, mama.
I'm so sorry.
I know.
Yeah, there we go. There we go.
Good.
He just walked in.
Perfect.
Okay, the rat is safe.
I found it. I found it.
It's down there.
He's right there.
Let's go.
Let's set up a drop trap.
Thank you.
Okay.
No, good. Perfect.
Thank you.
He'll probably react better to tuna.
Good. Good job.
Nice.
What a beautiful kitten, huh?
Okay, so now...
It's okay. It's okay.
Oh, they're bigger than...
They're maybe like eight weeks old.
Look, look, look.
Come here. Come here, kitty.
Come here. Come here. Come here.
Come here. You're bleeding.
Poor little kitten.
It's okay.
Open the zipper.
Stick a paw in there.
He's so cute.
You see the kitten?
Yeah, he's not here.
He probably freaked.
Oh, he's actually here.
Loretta, he's on this side.
It's just a tricky situation.
He doesn't want...
Do you see him?
Right there?
Do we have any more stuff?
Yeah, Joanne has one.
Maybe Joanne's gonna need something.
Oh.
Yeah, he's right there.
Just...
I'm concerned about that corner.
So, Joanne, you can put the little one there.
Or put a blanket, yeah.
Put a blanket in the corner.
And this, too.
And then you give me a small net
and I'm gonna hold it from here
just in case he does anything insane.
He has to do anything crazy.
Okay, let's do it.
Uh-oh, don't let him jump.
Coming through.
Close it, close it.
That's it.
Hold on.
Sorry, did I injure you?
No, no, no, move your foot.
That's it.
Put the blanket on him.
Good job.
Can you search in there?
You got a torch?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but there's nothing to see.
I can see the whole line.
There's no way for them to get up over that hole.
Dude's there.
You got your helmet cam?
Yeah, I'm good.
Lois, you got your cell phone?
Get up on that ladder.
Bam, bam, hold it.
Just take a picture.
Make sure we got no openings.
I think you can pet him.
I didn't have one yet.
I think we'll keep one or two.
Look.
She's crying.
Mama, don't cry.
She's, she's, she's, she's, it was fun listening to you.
Just a little camera shake.
Nope, doesn't hurt us.
