A kitten has died after being trapped in a storm drain outside an Orangeburg office building for two days.

Heavy rain and runoff filled the drain, causing the feline to drown.

Police, the highway and fire departments, Care About the Strays, the Hudson Valley Humane Society and private citizens all made efforts to coax the kitten out of the long tube of the drain, but were unsuccessful Tuesday.

The rescue effort continued Wednesday, and workers were able to extract the cat, but efforts to revive it were unsuccessful.
