A 10-week-old kitten that got her head stuck in a car wheel was rescued after one hour of struggle.

The stray cat was discovered by a man living in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, who heard a desperate meowing and contacted one of the U.K.’s animal welfare charities, The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Rescuers from the RSPCA tried to pull her out of the spare tire but failed.

“I tried to free the cat at the scene using margarine but it was impossible so I knew I was going to need help. I took her to Birmingham Animal Hospital where after about half an hour we finally managed to get her free using KY jelly,” said RSPCA inspector Herchran Boal.

The kitten is now recovering in isolation at the hospital where she is receiving treatment for her eyes.







“꺼내 주세요” 타이어에 끼인 새끼 고양이

갓 10개월이 된 새끼 고양이가 자동차 타이어에 머리가 끼어 한 시간 만에 가까스로 구조됐다.

영국의 버밍엄에 사는 한 남성이 애처로운 울음소리를 듣고 길잃은 고양이를 발견해 영국 동물보호협회에 신고했다. 

출동한 구조대원은 “현장에서 마가린을 이용해 고양이를 타이어에서 꺼내보려 했지만 실패했다. 다른 곳에서 도움을 받기로 하고 30분 가량 떨어진 버밍엄 동물 병원으로 가 수용성 윤활제를 사용해 겨우 고양이를 꺼낼 수 있었다”라고 말했다.

고양이는 현재 병원에서 격리보호와 안과 치료를 받으며 회복 중이다.
