Kitten Underground is Rescued by Roto-Rooter Plumbers

A tiny kitten found itself trapped 6-feet below ground in a residential sewer. The kitten was living with its mother and siblings in a house that was undergoing renovations near Morristown, New Jersey when it found its way into an open pipe in the basement. That pipe was a vertical pipe that led straight into the house's sewer pipe. The homeowners heard the kitten's cries and called the local Mendham, New Jersey Fire Department for help. The fire & rescue team then called Roto-Rooter for assistance. The Roto-Rooter team of Matt Lowry and Matt Mendoza came equipped with powerful video camera snakes. They fed the camera snake into the pipe and found the kitten's location. Using a radio beacon in the camera's head, the Roto-Rooter technicians were able to pinpoint the kitten's exact location underground. They dug down to the pipe, cut it open, and freed the kitten.
