Kitten Stuck in Worcester Stove Rescued by Boston ARL
Boston's Animal Rescue League team headed out to Worcester to get a little kitten out of trouble, calming a very concerned mama cat.
WORCESTER, MA — Over the weekend, a curious kitten found its way under a stove in a Worcester apartment. He squeezed through a hole where his body fit going in, but chose a smaller hole for the route out, getting his head stuck.
The Animal Rescue of League came to the rescue.
"It tried to exit through a much smaller hole, and was only able to get its head through," said Dorothy Joyce from ARL. "It squeezed through frontwards but was unable to retract it backwards. I was able to cut and bend the metal, making the hole large enough to extract the kitten."
