A cat found stuck inside a drainpipe with its head poking out has been successfully rescued by firefighters. The black female feline, named John, was discovered wedged inside the pipe connected to a garage in Clevedon, Somerset. The Avon Fire and Rescue Service crew from Clevedon Fire Station received the call for assistance at 9.55 am on Saturday and promptly responded to the scene.
Using small tools, the firefighters carefully extracted John from the pipe before taking her to a local vet for further examination and to remove the remaining part of the drainpipe. Pictures of the rescue operation were shared by the fire crew, showing John’s head sticking out from the pipe and the firefighters providing care while part of the pipe was still attached to her neck.
In a statement on Facebook, the fire service explained, “The crew used ladders and small tools to cut John out. The easiest and least distressing option was to cut a section of the pipe out with John in situ.” John was then taken to a local vet, where she was sedated to ensure a safe rescue operation. Fortunately, no serious injuries were found, and John is now under the care of the vet until she is well enough to return home.
The heartwarming rescue of John demonstrates the dedication and compassion of emergency responders in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all creatures, big and small.
