A cat with its head stuck in a skip bin for hours was finally rescued
Animal rescue activities always bring touching and meaningful stories when people create a second chance at life for animals in distress.
Let’s see a thrilling rescue of a small cat whose head got stuck in a skip bin for hours.
A yellow cat was in dangerous condition when its head got stuck in a skip bin.
According to Passersby, they discovered a cat screaming for help at 11:30 a.m. while passing by a factory in Cheltenham, south of Melbourne on Thursday.
Unfortunately, its condition was extremely dangerous when the head was stuck in a small hole at the bottom of a skip bin.
They said the cat was almost exhausted and extremely scared at that time. Passersby immediately contacted the Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) to request emergency help.
MFB Firefighter successfully released the small cat from the skip bin
Responding to an emergency rescue request, the fire team quickly arrived at the scene to rescue the cat.
According to MFB’s report, its condition was extremely bad and it was desperately screaming due to the pain.
At first, the firefighter tried to reassure the cat and then covered a small blanket with many cat-foot patterns on the tiny animal before the sophisticated rescue mission.
After keeping the cat calm down, they started using an angle grinder and a battery-powered spreading tool to cut the hole above the cat’s head in half to free it.
Through a 45-minute “surgery”, the little cat was successfully freed from the bottom of the skip bin.
The veterinary team at the scene provided first aid and immediately rushed the cat to the clinic for further treatment.
“After 45 minutes of sophisticated surgery, the cat was successfully released,” MFB Firefighter said in a post.
After a thrilling rescue mission, the kitten was confirmed to be out of danger and is recovering well.
Many animals were thrown in skip bins on purpose.
Officials continue to investigate whether the poor cat is a pet or a stray cat to take the most appropriate further care measures for it, such as finding someone to adopt her or bringing her back to its own home.
According to local reports, this is not the first time animals have been trapped in skip bins.
Previously, they also received many emergency calls about animals thrown away in the trash, one of which died from starvation, the rest from being crushed by other heavy objects.
Previously, a cat trapped in a heater was also successfully rescued.
Family members in Media, Pennsylvania, USA, successfully rescued a kitten trapped inside the heater vent.
Kass Whisler told Storyful that her family realized a kitten was inside the heater vent, which was accidentally left uncovered, after they heard the animal’s cries.
They tried banging on the vent from inside the house to see if they could scare the kitten out, but quickly realized the animal was stuck.
Footage recorded by Whisler shows her husband, Josh, and son, Nate, cutting a metal vent to free the kitten. After some effort, the kitten was finally successfully rescued
