Texas police use Whataburger to rescue kitten from drain

Oct. 28: Police in Texas used a tasty fast food treat to lure a small kitten who was trapped inside a storm drain.

Kemah Police Department shared photos as officers responded to a call about someone trapped in a storm drain to find a kitten instead.

Kemah police Sgt. Barmore and Officer Staton attempted to call the kitten toward them, and decided to offer a tantalizing snack to draw it out.

“They both got into opposite ends of the drain and crawled in to rescue the kitten,” police said. “After getting the kitten to notice a snack from Whataburger, the kitten was rescued.”

Officers temporarily named the kitten “Chicken” and brought it to Galveston Animal Control where it will be prepared for adoption, according to Click 2 Houston.

“The line to adopt the kitten has already begun,” police said. “Sgt. Barmore and a few Whataburger employees will look to adopt the kitten if the owner is not found.” Upi.com
