Obama saves kittens
3 Kittens Trapped In Piping Rescued
Cats Had Been Stuck In Piping For At Least 2 Days
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. -- Three kittens trapped in metal piping under a Riviera Beach boat ramp were rescued Wednesday.
"The kittens have made their way from one end to the other, about 40 feet it looks like," Animal Care and Control officer Wayne Brandes said.
They seemed to be crying out for help after being stuck in the piping at Venture Marine in the 1800 block of Old Dixie Highway for at least two days.
"I keep hearing a little noise, crying, (and) I'm like, 'Wow, that's a bird,'" worker Winston Elie said. "But this guy tells me that's a cat, and when I start looking around, I see his head (and) I'm like, 'Oh, yeah. That's a cat for real.'"
First Brandes tried to flush them out with water. But when that didn't work, he had to call for back up.
These kittens were shivering but otherwise OK after being pulled from piping Wednesday.
After about an hour of work, the first kitten finally made her way out, tail first.
"I had to constantly cool off the pipe they were in with some water because it was so hot in there," Brandes said.
The rest of the litter required a little more work. But the other two, including the one whose head was peaking out, were pulled to safety.
"You could here them crying, and it's always a good feeling to get something out of danger, especially when they're in that much need of help," Brandes said.
The kittens were shivering when they were rescued. They were taken to Animal Care and Control to be examined, and someone has already agreed to adopt them.
