A KITTEN has had a lucky escape after being discovered in the foundations of a house.
Elaine Deangelis was visiting her grand-kids when she heard the crying under the doorstep.
"We had initially thought is was a baby or bird crying from elsewhere," she said..
"However we soon realised it was coming from under the door."
After some improvised demolition work, the kitten was safely removed in surprisingly good health. "We rem oved some bricks and then we saw this little paw," Ms Deangelis said.
It is unclear how the kitten got stuck in such a sealed area, but it is believed to have been there for at least three days.
