Story summary

In Oyster Bay, Long Island on Thursday, workers at a maintenance yard heard what they described as "screams" coming from an industrial shredder. Upon investigating, they discovered three tiny black newborn kittens trapped inside the machine. A thoughtful worker covered the frightened animals with a towel and called John DeBacker, a local animal rescuer known for his daring rescues. DeBacker, who is 33 years old and lives in Bellmore, arrived promptly at the scene. Video footage posted on Facebook shows the kittens calmly purring inside the machine before they are carefully removed to prevent them from being harmed if the shredder had been turned on. The rescued kittens are currently being cared for by a bottle feeder and will eventually be put up for adoption.
