Newborn Kittens Dangling From A Coconut Tree Get Rescued

January 25, 2020

It was a scary moment for a group of newborn kittens that were born at the top of a coconut tree in Kauai, Hawaii.

The kittens were literally dangling from their umbilical cords.

The rescue was a group effort from the Kauai SPCA and Kauai Community Cat Project, a non-profit that's dedicated to taking care of homeless, stray, and feral cats on the island of Kauai.

According to Melanie De Vree Moore, who posted the video and photos to Facebook, all the kittens are safe with a KCCP foster mom and hopefully the real mother cat (who decided she wasn't going to be apart of the rescue) will be found and reunited with her kittens.
