A passerby had alerted authorities to the kitten’s predicament at 4:36 am, prompting two officers to attend the scene.
After the animal was retrieved, a bystander transported it to a local veterinarian for a check-up.
The SCPD said: “A passerby reported a kitten was stuck in a sewer drain on Towne Woods Road and Townhouse Drive, Coram, yesterday at 4:36 am.
“Two responding officers used a catch pole and saved the little kitty.
“The Good Samaritan transported the cat to a veterinarian to make sure he lived one of his best nine lives.
“Great job by everyone!”
