Kitten Rescued From Wall And Adopted By Florida Firefighter Tara Holcomb

After saving a tiny kitten from a wall, a Florida firefighter adopted the feline.

Tara Holcomb, 30, first met her future friend when she was responding to a March 30 call from homeowners who suspected there was a cat in their chimney.

"We got there and the homeowners had tried to get the cat out because they heard it crying but couldn't find it," Holcomb told ABC News. "They had cut a little inspection hole in the wall of an upstairs bedroom next to the chimney and used a flashlight to look in but couldn't see anything."

Holcomb stuck her hand in the hole in the wall and found a kitten the size of her hand that had yet to open its eyes.

It's unclear how exactly the kitten got in the wall in the first place because the homeowners reportedly never had any pets and are allergic to cats.

The homeowners ended up calling Holcomb the next day and offered her the kitten. It was an offer she couldn't refuse. Holcomb accepted their offer and appropriately named the male kitten Wall-E.

Wall-E is making Holcomb's house his forever home, where he has another rescued feline friend to spend his time with, reported ABC News.
