ATF agents rescued four cats and a dog on Sunday while investigating a fire that destroyed a Kansas City apartment building.
The animals were found after agents entered a part of the building that had been inaccessible.
KC Pet Project, a nonprofit animal shelter, helped agents rescue the four-legged creatures.
“As we continue to search for the cause of the Waldo Heights Apt fire, today @ATFKansasCity agents found themselves in a different role- rescuing 4 cats and a dog from an area of the building we had not been able to access great teamwork with the AMAZING @kcpetproject !” the ATF’s Kansas City office tweeted.
“Their owners must be so relieved and thankful,” the Kansas City Police Department posted on Twitter.
The fire broke out shortly after 8 p.m. Monday. Several minor injuries were reported.
