Despite the students’ efforts to rescue her by tossing food into the vent, the kitten remained stuck, prompting them to seek help from the community. Animals Lebanon, a dedicated rescue group, swiftly responded to their plea.
Uncertain of how the kitten had entered the vent, the rescue team speculated that she had crawled through a hole in the ventilation system above ground. They immediately sprung into action, trying to locate the distressed feline.

By the time the rescue team arrived, the kitten had stopped crying. ‘They were unable to hear her, so the first thing our team did was slip a phone through the vent to see if they could locate her, but (it was) without success.’
They went down to the underground parking garage to continue their search.

As if playing a game of hide and seek, the kitten eluded their grasp even after hours of persistent searching. Determined to free her, the rescuers devised a plan.
They constructed a platform near the vent’s exit and set up a humane trap, luring her with an enticing can of smelly food.
