It was when several customers in a parking lot in California, USA, heard repetitive pitiful cries coming from a storm drain that the alarm was first raised.
Sure enough, it soon became clear that a tiny kitten was indeed stuck in the drain – which offered very limited access.
David Loop of Sierra Pacific FurBabies, a non-profit rescue organization in California, was called to the site to investigate the situation.
A long and extensive excavation work was initiated and, after 33 hours, David along with several others managed to rescue the kitten. Little Piper emerged faring relatively well under the circumstances.
Piper was at last brought to safety and received plenty of warmth and love.
It’s unclear how Piper ended up in the drain in the first place – what’s certain however, is this adorable little kitten has stolen the hearts of millions, with the clip featuring her rescue getting close to a whopping 2 million views on YouTube.
