CLAYTON, NORTH CAROLINA Kittens are usually rescued from tall tree branches but not from storm drains. However just today, a frightened black kitten defied stereotypes when it was plucked from a downtown Clayton sewer pipe.
Four-year-old Camden Tolley heard the cat’s meowing as he walked to preschool with his mother, Sara.
Clayton’s animal control officer, Angela Lee, and a Clayton Fire Department crew responded to the scene. Firefighter Daryle Harris ultimately pulled the cat, looking like a soaking wet mop of black hair, from the drain.
“Despite the cold and damp – and front paws worn raw from trying to escape the pipe – the cat is in good condition,” Lee said.
“There’s no signs of being worse for wear,” Lee said.
Cat rescue group called Alley Cats and Angels has already committed to finding a new home for the cat.
Possible names for this cute kitty being thrown around the Clayton firehouse including Stormy, Monkey and Daryle.
