You can picture firefighters rolling their eyes at a call for a cat stuck in a tree, but this call could have taken all nine of this cat's lives.
"There's a cat stuck in my car," said Noreen Krymski, managing director of Columbia Cottage Assisted Living.
Krymski had seen the stray cat whisking around the parking lot all morning last Wednesday before it disappeared. Then, she heard its meow from somewhere in her car's engine compartment.
"We put tuna fish underneath it, all kinds of stuff, and it wouldn't come out," said Krymski.
After two hours and several calls to animal shelters, the cat never came out. Krymski made one more call. "We were her last option, so we headed on out there," said Capt. Kenny McCardell, Spring Township Fire and Rescue.
McCardell and two other firefighters responded.
