Kitten rescued from storm drain

A kitten named Rushelle was rescued from an eight-foot deep storm drain in Chillicothe, Ohio, thanks to a collaborative effort involving the Fayette Regional Humane Society, Ross County Sheriff's Office, and Scioto Township Fire Department. The rescue began when a deputy was alerted by a mother and child about the trapped kitten. After the humane agents determined they lacked the necessary equipment, the fire department provided a ladder, allowing Deputy Rush to retrieve Rushelle safely. Once out, the kitten was taken to the FRHS Animal Care and Adoption Center for care, where she was given a bath, food, and a warm bed. Although Rushelle is thin and has minor dental damage, she was found to be in good health and is expected to recover fully. The incident highlights the teamwork of local agencies dedicated to animal welfare.
