Toto The Tornado Kitten [View all]

On June 2nd of last year, a violent tornado ripped through western Massachusetts, carving a swath of destruction that could be seen from satellites.

A tiny 6-oz kitten was an unlikely survivor. Plucked from a high branch by a tree worker, the grey and white kitten quickly endeared himself to all who came in contact with him. No one knows what he went through, or how far he had been carried. Rescue workers named him Toto.

No one could resist petting the wee kitten. Even Police Chief Dawn M. Charette, who is allergic to cats, gave him cuddles and scritches.

“After what we saw out there, that kitten was like a symbol of hope,” she said. “I saw guys, I mean big, tough cops, just break down when they saw that kitten.”
