A little kitten's big voice lead to its rescue in New Kensington late Wednesday.
Sometime around midnight, a couple of guys walking down Route 366 heard a kitten meowing in front of the Seventh Street Sportsmen's Club, said Steven Matto, a photographer with the Arnold Volunteer Fire Department No. 2.
It was coming from a storm drain along the the four-lane road. They called 911, and police and firefighters responded.
Matto guessed that the kitten had gone into the road, was frightened by traffic, and went down the drain when it ran back toward the curb.
“You couldn't see the cat at first. It was inside the drain,” Matto said. “You could hear it. It was loud as hell.”
