Charleston, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A kitten now has a new home with a WSAZ staffer after being rescued from a storm drain.
On Thursday afternoon, Charleston police got a call that someone had dropped a bag full of kittens into a storm drain near Capitol Market. A WSAZ crew arrived on the scene to find a police officer and a helpful passerby making a "fishing net" for the kittens out of crime scene tape and a canvas bag.
It turned out to be just one kitten caught in the drain. After just a few tries -- the officer got the kitten to climb into the canvas bag and pulled her out of the storm drain.
WSAZ producer D'Arcy Robb was on the scene along with our photographer Adam Cunningham. D'Arcy fell in love with the kitten at first sight and after a quick call to her fiance, they decided to take the kitten home.
The kitten is doing well and the vet says she is healthy. D'Arcy and her fiance have named her Tiger Lily.

To Ashley on Jul 29 If you have ears and can listen and understand - the cop in Proctorville said "no resources" not "no funding." To all those who say the cop was upset or angry at the girl (who is actually an adult female menace in the community), I have never hear that they were angry at her, just concerned about her climbing into a storm sewer drain, in which they could not actually see a cat.

I agree 100% with the comments about the Proctorville PD! They are a joke! All I ever see them doing is pulling over out of state plates for doing 38mph in a 35mph zone... and chatting with those good ol' boys at the local Speedway or BP!

I LOVE stories like this. It lets me know there is still some good in the world. Maybe this police officer could call up the officer in Proctorville who couldn't help because of "no funding". Maybe this officer can show P-ville officer exactly how to stretch a budget in order to save a kitten!
