The emergency line lit up early in the morning with a call about a cat who had taken a perilous tumble into a deep, narrow well. The rescue team raced to the scene, where a staffer suspended by a rope had to rappel down 35 feet to reach the frightened feline. Coaxing her into a cloth holder with treats didn’t work—she was too street-smart for that—but somehow, the team member managed to bundle her up and carry her to safety. At the field office, veterinarians determined that she was remarkably unharmed. She was happy to accept copious amounts of food and affection before rescuers returned her to her village with goodbye scratches.
