They headed down to the tunnels beneath the road after seeing the kitten but were having trouble catching her because she always retreated back down the tunnels when they approached. once they set a live trap, they realized the kitten did not weigh enough to spring the trap. That is when the rescuers came up with a plan involving fishing nets.
