Firefighters Save Kitten in LA Sewer LAPD Gives it a Home / South Los Angeles RAW FOOTAGE

Описание: Written by City News Service - A kitten may have come close this morning to using
all of its nine lives after spending two days trapped in a South Los Angeles
sewer, but when freedom finally came as a result of a joint effort by LAPD
officers and City of L.A firefighters, the churlish feline tried to attack his
rescuers, before being put in the back of a LAPD Police Car
``Two of our officers were flagged down around 1:15 a.m., near the intersection of Avalon Boulevard and 83rd Street, by a resident who told them a cat had been stuck inside a sewer for a couple of days,'' said Lt. Darrell Belthius, watch commander at the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Station.
``The officers tried to free the crying cat and then contacted the fire
department who came out and removed the grate from the sewer,'' Belthius said.
The kitten was tiny, gray and white, and appeared to be just a few
months old, a news photographer reported from the scene.
After 1 hour of paitentaly waiting a LA City Firefighter that crawled into the sewer was able to grab the frightened kitten out from inside the sewer. ``But they said it came out like a Tasmanian devil,'' Belthius said. ``They said it tried to bite and scratch everyone." The firefighter was able to put it in the back of the original police officers squad car and they took the kitten to the 77th Division Police Station. One of the LAPD Officers that was at the scene took it and will give it a good home. LOUDLABS NEWS
