Kitten Gets Head Stuck In Tire

A Middletown veterinarian was able to safely free the playful kitten from the tire rim.

MIDDLETOWN, CT — Curiosity put a playful kitten in a precarious situation when it got its head stuck in a tire. Fortunately, the kitten didn’t need to use any of her nine lives to make it out safely, thanks to the staff at Pieper Memorial Veterinary Center in Middletown. Cookie, a 4-month-old kitten, was playing in the garage when she stuck her head through a tire.

“After trying everything they could to get her out her family brought Cookie in to see us,” Pieper Memorial Veterinary Center wrote in a post on Facebook. “Our team in the emergency room was able to quickly get her free from the tire rim, and now she’s resting from her exciting day. She’s going to be just fine!”
