Sometimes animals get stuck in some pretty difficult places and need a little human help to get free.
That was the case recently when a scared young kitten became trapped in the frame of a truck. Fortunately, he is now safe and sound after being rescued.
According to a Facebook post from the San Diego Humane Society, a truck driver found the 8-week-old black and white kitten trapped by the jaw in the frame of the vehicle.
The poor cat looked scared, but thankfully help was soon on the way.
The driver contacted the San Diego Humane Society. Their veterinary team quickly arrived on the scene and began safely removing the kitten from the frame.
“After sedating the kitten, they patiently used Q-tips to dislodge her head and free her from the tight spot,” the San Diego Humane Society wrote.
After safely getting the kitten unstuck, they transported her to the local campus and gave her pain medication, antibiotics, and a much-needed meal.
“We are happy that the kitten is now safe,” San Diego Humane wrote, thanking both the truck driver and their veterinary and Humane Law Enforcement teams for their “exceptional efforts” in saving her.
