PHOENIX, April 29 (UPI) -- Emergency workers at Arizona's humane society worked to rescue a newborn kitten that had been trapped under a manhole.

Arizona Humane Society shared a video of the 5-week-old kitten, who had been stuck beneath the manhole for three days, after its rescue.


Human society workers monitored the kitten and sent food down the manhole throughout the three days, as they awaited help from the City of Phoenix to access the city lines underneath the roads.

The female kitten was named Tera and taken to the Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital where she was determined to be in good health despite only weighing one pound.
