The Finderne Fire Department said in a Facebook post that crews responded for "a purrrty unique rescue" when a kitten was reported stuck in a drain pipe leading to a sewer in the back part of a Home Depot store in Bridgewater.
Firefighters borrowed a sewer camera from the store to pinpoint the kitten, and ended up using a rope of carpet padding to rescue the kitten from the pipe.
"This was truly a tricky rescue with the kitten being trapped in such a confined space but with patience and persistence, he was saved from entrapment and brought back to the shelter to receive food and water and a safe place to live temporarily," the shelter said in a Facebook post.
