SORRY for hijacking....FINALLY found a print version!

Coming on the heals of stories about the Marine tossing a puppy from a cliff and a driver tossing a bag of kittens into traffic I am very happy to report on a Roto-Rooter employee who went above and beyond the call of duty to save a kitten.

Roto-Rooter excavation supervisor, Kevin Adkins came to the aid of a kitten trapped in an open drainage pipe. He had been flagged down by an employee of the Ziebart Auto Shop in Columbus, Ohio.

Matt Michaelis, a window tinter at Ziebart Auto Shop, had been at work and kept hearing the cries of the kitten. It had lasted a day or so before he finally located where it was coming from, an open drain pipe next to the shop. Calls were made to rescue organizations but when no one was able to help the employees took matters into their own hands and started digging. They still weren’t able to reach the cat they flagged down the Roto-Rooter van as it drove by.

Kevin Adkins was able to use the Roto-Rooter septic tank vacuum to literally suck the kitten out of the drainage pipe. The kitten has been checked over by the local vet and given a clean bill of health. The kitten already has a home, with Ziebert Auto Shop.

I hope that Roto-Rooter and Ziebert Auto Shop get tons of free publicity from this story and that people remember these companies when they need the services they provide. The Ziebert Auto Shop is too far away from where I live or I would become a customer. If I ever have drainage issues Roto-Rooter will be the company I call.

A special thanks to Matt Michaelis and Kevin Adkins for showing that not all men are cruel to animals.
