PINOLE, CA (KRON)-The Contra Costa Animal Services and the Pinole Fire Department saved two kittens on Wednesday who were stuck in a drain pipe.

Crews had to use a shop vacuum to get them out because the pipe was too small, KRON reported.

The kittens have been named Ted and Bill.

They are now in the care of Contra Costa Animal Services. The agency posted about the rescue on Thursday, and said the kittens were brought back from the “brink of death” by its medical team.
