Naming of the lucky little moggie must ensue. I believe the traditional name for a firefighter's black cat is 'Soot'.

Many thanks for your patience and kindness for all living things.
I know your jobs are life-threatening and dangerous 24 hours a day and we appreciate all that you do for humans also.

Thank you for considering this tiny creature that needed you.Ryle Fitzgerald You rock❤️ Bless you from the bottom of our hearts for caring and having tremendous patience

Thank you to the whole crew for coming out. firefighters come quickly when our parents are ill and save lives constantly that the neighborhood never hears about. I wish you could get more publicity for the number of lives you have saved of the elderly in my neighborhood. Bless you You all are heroes forever we do not forget
