Kitten Rescued From Drain Will Be OK, Doctors Say
Published: April 25, 2007
A kitten that was rescued from a Miami storm drain Thursday night will make a full recovery, veterinarians say.
A Miami-Dade police officer, Louis Rojas, heard the kitten’s howls.
“When I arrived, I heard a lot of noise from the sewer,” said Rojas.
He called for firefighters. A few moments later, a large fire truck pulled up to the scene.
When they arrived, they found the kitten treading water in the storm drain and fighting to stay alive, police said.
One of the firefighters was lowered down the sewer drain and scooped the young cat to safety. Unfortunately, another kitten did not survive.
The kitten was taken to the Humane Society of Greater Miami to be checked out.
