Earlier this week, firefighters in Suffolk County, Long Island rescued a tiny kitten who was stuck in a steel fence pole.
The kitten was discovered around 7:45 on Saturday morning by a mother and her son, who summoned the help of the Central Islip Fire Department.
Crews freed the kitten after arriving at the scene, and the feline was taken to a local animal hospital for an examination.
In this video, the distressed animal can be heard shrieking as firefighters work to rescue them. The kitten is lucky to have been discovered, especially given the hot summer temperatures in the area. Otherwise, they most certainly would not have survived.
Thankfully, this story seems like it will have a happy ending. Once the kitty is deemed healthy, it probably won’t take long to find a forever home; numerous offers of adoption have already poured in, according to News 12 Long Island.

A very big thank you to all who helped.
I love to see huge men rescuing tiny kitties. Seems to me the right picture of the world.

I KNOW ONE RETIRED FIRE FIGHTER AND TWO THAT STILL DO THIS JOB. ALL THREE HAVE DONE THIS TYPE OF WORK. WHAT HEROS.THEY ARE NOT EMPLOED TO HELP ANIMALS BUT THEY DO IT ANYWAY. MANY THANKS TO THESE COURAGIOUS PEOPLE.
Thank you to Mom and Son, and the Central Islip Fire Department for coming to the aid of this sweet baby-cat.
And to those who want to adopt this little celebrity and don’t get to – there are so, so many other cats and kittens, and dogs and puppies that wait for your loving home. So grab another cat or kitten and tell everyone you adopted in honor of the Central Islip Fire Department Heroes and their rescue kitty <3
Make those Heroes proud!!!
Yes!! And this is the perfect time to adopt–not just kittens, but adult cats too. BUT remember, when you adopt a pet, it is a responsibility!
