A contractor in Philadelphia was hard at work taking down a wall of an abandoned home on Sunday, June 13, when he heard a strange muffled sound coming from inside. Meowing. As he started to tear down the wall carefully, a kitten fell out, according to ABC News’ Philadelphia station WPVI. He figured there could be more so he began to take a closer look. He was right, there were. In fact, over an eight-hour period he ended up removing a total of 16 cats – nine adults and seven kittens – from the wall of the home, according to the Animal care and Control Team (ACCT) in Philadelphia.
