Missoula firefighters who raced to a burning home in the lower Rattlesnake Valley on Thursday morning were relieved to find no people at home when the fire broke out.

There were, however, pets, including a striped gray kitten with big blue eyes lying limp inside the front door.

"He wasn't breathing too well," said Firefighter Brett Cunniff, who scooped up the tiny body and gently carried it outside into the fresh, cool air. "So I put some oxygen on him."

Minutes later, the kitten was in the back of an ambulance, cradled in the arms of emergency medical technician Paige Ostanhowski, who held an oxygen mask to a button nose turning a healthy shade of pink.

16. Thanks for posting!

Such a cool story...

"She's a little scared. Anything that crinkles or sounds like fire, she runs into her box," Ross said.

But the kitten, which Ross estimated to be about 4 to 6 weeks old, was chowing down on canned cat food. "She's doing really good."

4. The picture is cute.

I have to say though...that cat looks like he's REALLY enjoying that oxygen! :P

I'm reminded of how I used to look after a while with my favorite dental Office Assistant, Nitrous Oxide. :D

7. How do you know he's union?

Ever heard of Volunteer Fire Departments?

[Gold Metal Flake]

17. Did you check?

No, because you could not be bothered. You just want to be the naysayer. What a bore, but oh so predictable.

Missoula Firefighters are not volunteer. Here, apply for a job.

25. As an old woman I appreciate a good looking dude..though he is younger than my son

Hey, old women get to say 'cute' too!

[Cleita]

26. The looking is for free. Even old women can

appreciate hot, young fellas. Also, the fact that he took the trouble to rescue a little fluff of life shows him to be a really nice person as well.
