PWD’s Fred Feoli rescues kitten from danger

Last month PWD’s Customer Service Unit answered 232 calls from Philadelphians requesting inlet cleaning. On Saturday, July 26th, a normally routine call became an emergency as residents reported a kitten trapped in an inlet near the intersection of Main St. and Roxborough. Fred Feoli of the Inlet Cleaning Crew answered the call.

Several attempts were made to bring the kitten out to safety, but with no luck – as the kitten could not be seen, but only heard. After some quick thinking, Fred removed the trap wall, releasing the kitten from the dirty pipe. Fred’s heroic efforts were witnessed by many in the community, including one neighbor who adopted the kitten.

Well done Fred!
