BRECKSVILLE, Ohio — It was Roto-Rooter to the rescue for an unlucky black kitten that got stuck in an outdoor drainage pipe near Cleveland.

A plumbing service was called in Friday by workers at an Ohio firm. Someone spotted the kitten down an outside pipe. A crew used a drain snake equipped with a remote camera to keep the scared kitty in its sights. It took six hours to rescue the cat.

The kitten was examined by a vet and then taken home by one of the rescuers, who plans to name it “Roto.”
