Dayton firefighters teamed up with the Humane Society of Greater Dayton to save a cat stuck in a pipe.
The cat got its head stuck in a metal fencing pipe that was embedded in a cement block. Witnesses say the cat was trapped for hours.
Humane society officials say the cat hurt it’s paws trying to escape.
After trying to remove the cat by chipping away cement to access the pipe, Humane Society workers sedated the cat and took it to the Dayton Fire Department Headquarters, Station 4.
Firefighters were able to cut the cat out of the pipe, saving its life. Humane Society workers say it took nearly two hours to cut through the pipe to save the cat.
The cat was taken to the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, where it was treated by a veterinarian. The cat is recovering.
