The cat that made national headlines after it was rescued from a drainage pipe at Findlay’s Donnell Middle School passed away. Piper was rescued from the pipe in 2014 at the age of 12. She was adopted by a local family and passed away on Tuesday.

Piper was stuck in a downspout pipe after possibly being chased into the sewer system by another animal. It took two days to get the cat out of the pipe. The incident had gained national attention and even reached overseas.
