Firefighters Save Kitten From Storm Drain
In Parkersberg, West Virginia, a group of firefighters and animal rescuers spent an hour and a half trying to coax a tiny gray tabby out of a storm sewer drain.
After trying everything from luring it with food to making noises on the pipe to make it run out, the firefighters finally flushed the pipe with 250 gallons of water, just enough to wet the kitten’s paws, and it rushed out into the arms of the waiting Firefighter Kevin Siers.
Goes to show that most cats and water simply do not mix!
The kitty, who went through quite an ordeal, was reported to become more relaxed soon afterwards, and was adopted a few days later from the Humane Society.
