Hikers on the Middlefork Savanna Trails in Lake Forest, Oregon, took a casual hike to rescue four kittens from a tree. The rescue took place on a Sunday afternoon and involved six people, including Dr. John Kyncl, a physician, and David Forrest, a mechanic. The kittens were visible in a tree next to the trailhead’s parking lot and were rescued by Karen McGowan, Elawa Farm’�s community partnership manager. The hikers discovered that the cold temperatures could potentially cause hypothermia. They transported the kittens to a safe place and the remaining two moved to higher branches. The nearly four-hour rescue effort was successful and all four kittens were adopted the next day.
