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.
