In Lexington, a heartwarming rescue involving a plumbing company, a neighbor’s dog, and a remote-controlled car saved the day for Tina, a beloved feral cat.
Tina, known for her mischievous and independent nature, became part of Kim Johnson’s life two years ago. Initially feral, Tina gradually adapted to human care under Kim’s devoted attention.
The adventure began when Tina went missing for two nights, prompting a worried Kim to seek help online. Betsy Schmandt and her dog Hudson discovered Tina trapped in a storm drain, injured and frightened. With neighbors’ assistance, including tools and a ladder, efforts to rescue Tina were unsuccessful.
Ultimately, Roto-Rooter stepped in, using innovative methods to save Tina. Using a remote-controlled truck with a rope tied to it, they successfully retrieved Tina from the drain, much to Kim’s relief and joy.
Post-rescue, Tina received veterinary care revealing she had suffered fractures likely from a car accident. Despite her ordeal, Tina is now healing indoors, enjoying the comfort and care provided by Kim.
Roto-Rooter’s compassionate service, provided free of charge, highlights their commitment to rescuing animals from perilous situations like pipes and drains.
Tina’s story is a testament to community solidarity and compassion, ensuring she receives the love and care she deserves after her harrowing experience.
