MONROE - A rescued kitty in Monroe has a new life, several heroes and an honorary position on the Monroe Fire Department. Merit, as she has been named, is "definitely a lover and clings to my wife Deidre and daughter Skylar," said Jim Kundert, a five-year veteran of the Monroe Fire Department. Kundert was among the small crew called in by Fire Chief Daryl Rausch on Labor Day to retrieve a frightened six-week-old kitten caught in the floor joists between the ground floor and basement of a home on 10th Street.
