A tiny kitten was saved from drowning in a storm drain, all thanks to a 4-year-old boy from Clayton, North Carolina!
Camden and his mom were on their way to his preschool around 9 a.m. when the little boy heard tiny yelps coming from a storm drain in front of the local library. They found a teacher in the library, who then called the police.
Two firefighters and an animal control officer were on the scene to rescue the poor little feline. After the drain covers were removed, one of the firefighters descended into the drain and attempted to coax the kitten out before grabbing him and lifting him to safety.
Watch the amazing raw footage of the rescue — those heart-wrenching cries are enough to make your stomach turn! Luckily, Clayton's keen hearing was able to bring this little guy safety. Without him, how long would that poor kitten have been down there?
Now, this tiny kitten is recovering and will soon be looking for his forever home, and Camden is being called a hero. This is one rescue story I won't forget — it just makes me want to hold my own two kittens closer, and be thankful that they're safe!
