The police officer took me to a warehouse-like building, which was the makeshift shelter. There were many large cages inside the building, and a wall of thick metal doors was essential to contain the animals. The doors had small holes about 1″ to 1.5″ in diameter, but there was a door with a slightly larger hole. This was the hole a cat decided to go through. Unfortunately, he got stuck.

Inside the metal shop, the cat was found stuck in a small hole. The towel and carrier were brought by the officers. We moved cautiously and surrounded the building below where the cat looked on the other side

Unfortunately, he looked even worse on the other side. His head was wedged very tightly within the hole, and he had blood in his mouth. A stick of dried blood also ran down the door, and a small spot of blood was left on the ledge below his head

There was no way that the cat’s body would follow him out of the hole, so we were faced with the prospect of getting the cat’s head through the hole.
