Thanks to the help of our Feral Friends Network® and a Good Samaritan, a kitten is safe after being stuck in a storm drain.
Alley Cat Allies Feral Friend Toby Franks got a call June 13th from veterinarian Dr. Kim Carter, asking for his help to rescue a kitten who was stuck in a storm drain. A concerned citizen had been keeping vigil over the kitten from her wheelchair for four days. When Dr. Carter wasn’t able to coax the kitten out, Toby climbed down into the drain. The kitten was too afraid to approach Toby, so they set a trap and kept watch. The next morning, the kitten was safely in the trap!
The little kitten is currently at Dr. Carter’s clinic and doing great! They’ve named her Piper in honor of her dramatic storm drain rescue.
