Deputies Dug Into the Dirt and Heard Tiny Cries. Two Buried Kittens Are Now ‘Living Miracles’

When Martin County Sheriff’s Office deputies started digging in Hobe Sound, Florida, nobody knew what they would find.

Then one deputy’s voice cut through on bodycam video: “Oh, they’re still alive.”

Two tiny 4-week-old kittens had survived. Today, they’re named Kali and Amara, and they’re growing stronger every day in a loving foster home.

A Rescue Caught on Bodycam

According to deputies, a woman buried several kittens alive because she believed they were demons. Deputies dug them out. Two kittens were found alive. Two did not survive, and one is still missing, WSVN 7News reported.

Deputies said the woman accused, 37, is currently on an immigration hold.

For the two survivors, though, the story was only beginning.

“They’re Real Living Miracles”

The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast reached out to Jennifer Jagdeo, a nurse whose family regularly fosters animals. They didn’t hesitate for a second.

“They’re real living miracles,” Jennifer said. “As an animal lover, I think we all are shocked by it.”

Her son, Ryland Vick, asked the question everyone was thinking: “Why would they do this when they’re just so cute?”

Jennifer said caring comes second nature to her. “For me, my focus has been them and healing them.”

From Lethargic to Playful

When Kali and Amara arrived, they were weak and lethargic. Now they’re bouncing back fast.

“They’re walking around now. They wrestle with each other and play. They drink the bottle like it’s nobody’s business, and they’re just little joys,” Jennifer said.

Bottle feedings, warmth, rest and a lot of love are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do.
