Cory Mayo and Josh Romaine worked diligently for around 40 minutes to rescue the frightened kitten, who fortunately did not sustain any injuries.
The firefighters brought the kitten into the station, where Josh Romaine and Marc Feliciano cleaned her up and checked for injuries.
“The kitten quickly won the hearts of everyone, including Lieutenant Skip Drainer and Lieutenant Jerod Solana,” SJCFR said in a Facebook post.
The good news is that the kitten has now found her forever home.
Lieutenant Drainer’s wife came to the station and took her home to join their family. The kitten, now named “Gracie,” is adapting well and has a veterinary appointment scheduled.
