When the volunteers arrived, what they found was horrifying. Six young kittens had been sealed into a block wall using urethane foam, a type of insulation that hardens around anything it touches.

The volunteers were able to rescue the kittens, but unfortunelately one was lost due to the damage from the foam insulation. They worked long through the night trying to clean up and stablize the remaining kittens and the work continues today.Tomb in Wall

The event was covered on Las Vegas channel 3 KVBC yesterday afternoon and their article can be found at http://www.kvbc.com/Global/story.asp?S=8419110.
