Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Reading progress

Some quick thinking and careful planning was required after the Cape of Good Hope SPCA received a call about a large ginger cat that was stuck between two garages.

When Inspector Werner Taljaard arrived to rescue the distressed kitty, he found that it was lying on its back with no way to get free as the space where he was trapped was only about 12cm wide. Inspector Taljaard measured the distance and height around the cat to determine what would be the best point of entry between the two garages.

The fire department was called to help with the rescue operation and arrived very quickly to assist the cat in distress. After approximately 10 minutes, the team had made a small hole inside the garage. Inspector Taljaard then reached inside and safely removed the cat and handed him to his relieved and grateful owners, after which he was taken to the vet to examine him for injuries. All is well after a successful, tense rescue operation.
