“A sailor attached to utility squadron VJ-4 plays with kittens that were discovered in an equipment room at U.S. Naval Air Station Squantum in Massachusetts, 1942.” Original source is the National Archives but I found it in the book Cats in the Navy. https://www.usni.org/press/books/cats-navy

I hope many people will see what you
have shared.
thank you.
A friend of ours who happens to be a dispatcher for the HC Sheriff's Dept heard about him on the radio. She arranged to pick him up and gave him to us. Barely 6 weeks old. Teething, on the verge of starving.
