Three deputies from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office rescued a kitten that was rescued from a storm drain.

On September 1, Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs, along with the Sheriff’s Office’s Emergency Management Section, rescued a kitten trapped in a storm drain in Yaphank. At approximately 7:40 p.m., during a routine patrol of the John J. Foley Building, a deputy sheriff heard a noise coming from a storm drain outside the building.  Upon further investigation, it was found to be a kitten trapped in a storm drain.

The deputies and the Sheriff’s Office Emergency Management Section moved a dumpster covering the storm drain and pried the drain open to rescue the cat. The kitten was adopted by one of the deputy sheriffs involved in the rescue and has been named “Foley.”
