    According to the Marshall Police Department, they received reports about a kitten stuck in a drain near Highway 59 and Houston on Thursday. Animal control and the fire department attempted to pinpoint the kitten’s location but ran into difficulties.

    Afterwards, Friends of Marshall Animals, a nonprofit shelter, set a trap with food to try and successfully rescue the kitten, the department said.

    Marshall PD said at around 2:30 a.m. a patrol was on the scene after another animal complaint. Stormy was found in the trap and was rescued by a Marshall PD officer that “bravely entered” the storm drain.

    The police department said Stormy will soon be heading to their new home after a check-up at the Marshall Pet Adoption Center.
