Raine couldn't believe her eyes when she followed the sound of a loud meow. The noise led her to a drain pipe.

Inside, she found a helpless kitten. Raine immediately tried to rescue the animal from its predicament and documented the adventure in a TikTok.

Brianna ended up having to call the fire department for help getting the cat out.

Luckily, their efforts were successful, and Raine and her boyfriend took the kitten home. The caption of her video says: "Now we are part of the cat distribution system."

The couple took the tiny animal to the vet, who discovered that the kitten suffers from a coordination problem that makes it wobble when walking. The cat's coornation issue may have been what got it stuck in the drain originally.

Despite this limitation, the little cat – now called Pluto – seems to be doing well. Brianna and her boyfriend decided to adopt Pluto after finding out that she didn't have a microchip or appear to have a home.

TikTokers are smitten with little Pluto!

The clip of the cat rescuer quickly went viral. Thousands of users praised the rescuer's quick actions and compassion.

However, a few critics noted that it's not always necessary to intervene immediately with kittens that appear abandoned. Sometimes, the mother animals are only temporarily absent.

Brianna promised her followers that she would look after the kitten with lots of love from now on.
