In a scene straight out of a movie, (or at least an after school special), two 11-year-old boys heroically rescued a young kitten who they found floating down the Leeds Liverpool Canal while tied into a pink basket.
The nine-week-old cat, now named Moses (or "Mo" for short), was heading towards a certain death as the container started to fill up with water. Fortunately, the boys spotted her cruising by, and sprang into action. Mo is now safe at the Craven and Upper Wharfedale RSPCA, where she will be available for adoption after recovering from her ordeal.
Anyone with information on the incident is urged to contact the RSPCA. Check out more pics of the kitty in the basket here.

Sweet little kitteh! Sweet little boys! We are purring fur her a furever home.
thank goodness the boy stepped in! what a cutie - i truly don't understand the human race sometimes. Amazing we've made it this far!
Thanks hero
Thank goodness for those boys. We are purring and praying for Mo to get a forever loving home real soon.
What heroes those boys are,what kind of person would do this?? UGH!! sometimes when it comes to people or animals I like the latter the best!
Absolutely disgusting, makes me ashamed to see that this happened in Britain. Thank goodness for those boys stopping to help
People are cruel. How can anyone do that to a helpless creature??? Thank goodness these boys were there to rescue her. she's amazing!! I hope she finds a warm, loving home very soon.
I agree with "kitcaboodles" dismay that it happened at all, but keep in mind Kit, that the thing to remember is that 2 good kids had the heart to rescue the kitty. That speaks volumes about the inherent good nature of people.....
well done to those 2 boys! :) give yourselves a huge pat on the back lads
It makes me so sad that someone would do this to a helpless creature. The cruelty is just unspeakable. I'm so glad those boys helped the kitten. People like them continue to prove that the world isn't ALL bad.
Well done, boys! What sort of human would tie a helpless kitty to a basket ensuing an almost certain death by slow drowning? He/she didn't even have the chance to escape!!!
Purring for Mo to get a loving home soon!
When we saw the headline, we weren't sure this was a story we really wanted to read. There is so much cruelty in the world. But bravo for those boys! We're sure this is the beginning of a good life for such a sweet kitten. Whoever put her in the basket should be ashamed of themselves, but they probably haven't given it a second thought.
What a heartwarming story of a couple of boys who became a kitten's heroes!
I hope little Moses gets an incredible forever home!
Thank God these boys were kind hearted. So many times it would have been a sad story instead. Bless the little kitty's heart I hope he finds the perfect home.
