CATS

Efforts ongoing to rescue two cats from sinkhole in Edmonton

Apr 22, 2019 | 7:07 AM

EDMONTON – Firefighters built them a ladder and a homeowner has tried luring them out with Easter ham and sardines, but so far two cats remain deep in a sinkhole in Edmonton.

Rebecca Hung says she spotted the hole beside the foundation of her house Friday morning when she returned from a vacation that lasted several weeks.

When she looked down the hole, she saw a black-and-white cat about three metres down staring up at her.

Firefighters arrived and reinforced the sides of the hole with wood so it would be safe to lower a man down, and the one who went in said the cat just fled deeper into the hole.

The firefighter also said he saw another cat that appeared grey.

Hung says the firefighters created a ladder of wooden beams so the cats could hopefully climb out, and Hung has left treats inside a cat trap outside the hole.
