INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Firefighters and an animal hospital rescued a kitten stuck in a metal sewer grate, Indianapolis Fire Department said Tuesday night.
A person near a gas station at Emerson Avenue and Thompson Road saw the trapped kitten, and the firefighters were called to help about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The firefighters removed the grate along with kitten, which had its head stuck in the drain cover, and took it to Noah’s Stop 11 Animal Hospital Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Care South. That’s where the sedated kitten and the grate were separated in about 20 minutes.
The 5-month-old kitten on Tuesday night remained at the animal hospital, and its operators hope to find a home for the fortunate feline.
