Firefighters said country club employees reported hearing the sounds of a distressed kitten coming from the box for several days.

"[Florida Power & Light] was called to the scene to secure power, which allowed our firefighters access into the normally dangerous box," Division Chief Michael Moser told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

A video recorded by the Coral Springs Fire Department shows two firefighters digging around inside the box until one of them emerges victoriously with the kitten.

The feline now has a new home with a country club employee, Moser said.
