Power Puff Rescue in Grafton

Blossom, Bubba and Buttercup's Harrowing Abandonment

GRAFTON, Wis. – Imagine being one of three two-pound kittens trapped inside the bottom of a large garbage can. After hours – and possibly days – of constant crying, they're prayers were finally answered.

Three real life Power Puff girls came to the kittens' rescue. Found not too far from the Ozaukee Humane Society, the three young rescuers immediately alerted OHS staff, who rushed out to the site and scooped up the hot, panting felines. The newly named Blossom, Buttercup and Bubba were rushed to the shelter then cooled off gradually and then immediately evaluated by OHS staff.

Thanks to the brave rescue crew and caring staff at the Ozaukee Humane Society, Blossom, Buttercup and Bubba received plenty of attention and tender loving care. Unfortunately, Buttercup didn't survive.

Although Blossom and Bubba miss their sibling, their personalities are that of silly, happy-go-lucky kittens. These mini-Power Puff siblings are in search of a guardian who will shower them with love and affection.

For more information about the kittens, please call the Ozaukee Humane Society at (262) 377-7580 .  Additional information about the Ozaukee Humane Society can be obtained by visiting www.ozaukeehumane.org.
