Stone

Construction workers at a high school were shocked to find a small kitten trapped inside concrete poured to secure a set of stairs on Friday.

"I thought I heard it three days ago, but I wasn't sure," Vinson said. "It was real faint and then it stopped. I thought, 'Surely there is not a cat in these stairs. It couldn't be. There's no way.'"

When Vinson returned to the work site Friday, he said he heard the noises again. He drilled a hole to find the cat and then he hit another hole.

"Every time I chiseled a little bit, he would come forward," Vinson said.

The kitten was rescued and rushed to veterinarian Michael Good's office, where he was treated for dehydration and shaved.

"He's had no food or water for five or six days," Good said.

Vinson said he has decided to take the kitten home and name it 'Stone.'
