Roto-Rooter received a call one night asking for help in rescuing a kitten who had fallen into a sewer pipe on a rainy, cold night on Long Island, New York. Not long after, Roto-Rooter was on the job.

The rescuers first placed some sardines in the pipe to better nourish the kitten. After four hours of hard work, the experts at Roto-Rooter were able to safely recover the kitten from the drain. Not long after, the kitten, named "Rooter" was adopted by a Roto-Rooter employee.
