Cummings said there is a half-wall and a crawlspace in the basement and they were hopeful that somehow the kitten had gotten into that crawl space. Cummings put food in the area, hoping to attract the kitten, but nothing happened. The mewing went on for several days, and Cummings was becoming increasingly concerned. With the help of Hail, she began looking to find someone who could help her find the kitten and get it out of the basement.
