WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A kitten in Winston-Salem might have just used up one of its nine lives when it was rescued after falling into a well this week.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office didn’t say how the kitten ended up in the well, but shared pictures of the rescue on Monday.
Deputies and firefighters found the kitten had fallen about 40 feet.
