John wasn't too pleased with the decision she made to shimmy through the narrow drainpipe. She was a bit confused and looked troubled as she got stuck in the pipe. The poor female cat was found in this state over the weekend in a garage located in Clevedon, North Somerset. Luckily, firefighters were called to the scene just before 10am and were able to rescue John from her predicament.
The firefighters had to use ladders to reach the cat, who they later discovered was named John. They then used small tools to carefully and gently cut her free from the pipe. According to a post on Facebook by the responding crew, the best option was to cut a section of the pipe out with John still inside, as it was the easiest and least distressing method. After the successful rescue, John was taken to a local vet where she was sedated and the remaining part of the pipe was removed from around her neck.
Thankfully, John didn't suffer any injuries and was able to return home to her relieved owner. The whole ordeal must have been quite scary for the little cat, but she made a full recovery and is now back in the comfort of her own home.
The Clevedon Firefighters shared the story on their Facebook page, expressing their surprise at the unusual rescue mission. They mentioned that John was not stuck up a tree, as is commonly seen in these situations, but rather stuck in a garage drainpipe from the inside. The team from Clevedon used their skills and tools to carefully cut John out of the pipe, making sure not to cause any additional distress.
Upon arriving at the vet's office, John was escorted by the firefighters who had rescued her. The staff at Vets4Pets Clevedon were ready to give her the care she needed. They placed an intravenous catheter in her leg and provided her with oxygen therapy and sedation while the remaining part of the pipe was sawed off by the firefighters. After the successful removal, John was given plenty of cuddles and pampering before being returned home to her grateful owner.
A similar incident occurred in Nottinghamshire, where firefighters had to rescue a tiny eight-week-old kitten that had been stuck in a drainpipe for several days. The crew from Edwinstowe were called to the Dukeries Complex in Boughton, where they carefully used small electric cutters to retrieve the kitten. It's heartwarming to see these dedicated firefighters go above and beyond to rescue animals in need.
