A kitten heard calling for help from an underground pipe in New York was coaxed out by a rescuer and will soon be available for adoption.
Firefighters pulled up some boards and discovered the sounds were coming from about 10 to 15 feet underground, inside a downspout.
Rescuers responded to the home and played recorded kitten sounds to lure the tiny feline close enough that he could reach it with a catch pole.
The kitten, now named Piper, was turned over to NYC Second Chance Rescue for veterinary care and, eventually, adoption.
