"Alongside fire and rescue, I managed to get up onto the roof of the conservatory and slowly but surely contain the mother using a reach and rescue pole and then pick up each kitten and bring them to safety." Three-year-old Storm and her new family are receiving some "much-needed care and attention" at Newbrook Farm Animal Centre, the charity said.
