Cat owes firefighter for two lives saved

Coweta County, Ga., firefighter Jim Cadenhead has saved Welly the cat—again. In June, Cadenhead descended 40 feet into a well to rescue the cat, an apparent stray. The animal was brought to a shelter and was scheduled to be euthanized last week because nobody had claimed him. When Cadenhead heard about Welly’s fate, he consulted with his daughters, ages 10 and 11, and the decision to adopt the cat was unanimous. “This was quickly going from a positive to a negative,” he said. “For it to die would be a waste of what we did.”
