A stray cat fell into a chimney in the neighborhood, and after the neighborhood's residents failed in their attempts to free it, they contacted a professional rescue team. They eventually rescued the kitten and took it to a veterinary hospital for follow-up treatment.

After neighbors tried unsuccessfully to free their cats with sticky mouse traps, these professional cat rescuers arrived on the spot. They used cat food on the rope to attract the cat's interest, then tied the rope around the cat's body to pull it up. The rescued cat was very energetic, but was covered in glue and needed further treatment, which is no longer a problem.
