Kitten rescued from Athlone lock chamber

Athlone Sub-Aqua Club helped to rescue a kitten stranded in a hole in the chamber of Athlone lock on Sunday.
The rescue occurred at the end of the day after one of the club's snorkelers, Emily Spencer (15) spotted what she thought were cats' paws in a hole in the lock chamber on the Shannon.
She convinced the club boat to turn around and check out her suspicions. Snorkeler Jonathon Canavan entered the water and managed to get hold of a very damp, cold, and large kitten.
The kitten named Lucky was returned to the shore with eight of its nine lives remaining.
