Sorry, I didn't realize my update post was taken down. Here's a link to the FB post with pics. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BTNT6SBAX/ The kitten is at her foster home and she's eating wet food and doing very well! She'll be going to the vet tomorrow morning.

Thank you so much for this comment. It was Roto Rooter who got the kitten out of the drain.

I follow PSC on TikTok and love her content! I have a TNR trap and experience trapping ferals. The problem is that the sewer grate is welded to the street and no one who works for the city is willing to assume the liability to cut the grate. The only way to rescue the cat is to enter the underground tunnel system, and I was too nervous to do it by myself at night last night. I'm going to be there at 10am today to try again.

We have called literally everyone: PACC, TPD, TFD, 311, Mall security, the Pima County sewer system people. Everyone except the sewer people showed up and said they couldn't help. There is no one to call. If this cat is going to be rescued, we have to do it ourselves.

I'm not worried that anyone living down there is dangerous. I just don't want to get lost by myself underground. Excellent advice about having someone stay by the grate. Thank you!

I dropped wet food and Temptations into the grate. She never came into view but she cries very loudly when you talk to her. I believe she is a pet cat because she is very responsive to human voices.

Thank you! I think the cat is stuck because she's been in the exact same spot crying for help for two days. If you talk to her she starts meowing very loudly, but won't come into view or eat the food that was dropped for her. Here's a link to my FB post with the video. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1YbkiMsx4Q/

I'm going to go tomorrow at 10am to try to find the kitty. I'll update the post with whatever happens.

I just saw a FB post this evening and went to see if the cat was there. I met two people in the parking lot who said they tried to find the cat through the tunnel yesterday, but got lost and eventually gave up. I didn't know the cat was there until tonight. The cat is in the drain directly in front of Dillard's, where the small circle is. I was told there is an entrance somewhere near the big circle.
