A tiny kitten suddenly got stuck inside the wall of the house of a stranger, but the Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue was there to save the little kitten from his straitened situation.
Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Heiser wondered how the cat could’ve winded up in the inside of a wall: “It was a stray that either the mother cat carried into the attic to keep it safe or gave birth up there and this one just wandered.”
It wasn’t an easy task to find the exact location of the stuck kitten, so they used thermal imaging to detect him. While the fire department crew was cautiously listening for meows and knocking on the wall, they found the cat’s heat signature right through the wall thanks to the thermal camera.
The cat could only be rescued if the wall would be torn apart. Luckily, the owner had no issues at all with destroying a part of his home to save a lost kitten.
“They’ve got all the tools they need for cutting stuff up. The owner was more than happy to let us cut a hole in the wall. They found the little guy in there. They didn’t know how long he was in there for. They washed him off and brought some food for him back to the station. Everybody at the station has already adopted so many cats and dogs from rescues like these so no one was available to take him.”
After this remarkable rescue, the little kitten was transferred to the local animal shelter in Fort Lauderdale and will be up for adoption very soon.
According to Heiser, animal rescues are “sad to begin with because you’ve got an animal that is by itself, but when you have a happy ending, that’s great.”
