After firefighters rescued a group of kittens from a burning woodpile, another group of rescuers hopes to save them from the streets. Feral kittens, however, can usually be socialized to people if they are younger than 12 weeks. After cleaning and drying off the kittens, firefighters felt it best to leave them near the scene with their mother. They work with local rescue groups to adopt out animals, but since truly feral cats are fearful and aggressive in cages, they often wind up euthanized. But if the kittens' mother was feral, turning the animals in to the city shelter could have been a death sentence.
