Residents discovered the kitten’s plight Saturday night and set out to find help. When the fire department was unable to make the rescue because of electrical wiring in the way they contacted Time Warner Cable.

TWC employees Matt Williams & Scott Bird responded to the call early Sunday morning and dug down into the ground in an effort to save the little kitten. The rescue took two hours, after which the TWC employees brought out the cold, wet baby.
