This one will bring tears to your eyes, but luckily has a happy ending.

A five-month old kitten managed to get in a storm drain, already a bad place to be, and in her attempts to free herself, became stuck with her head through a storm drain. As if that wasn’t bad enough, a snowplow went over her TWICE, just narrowly missing her head.

After likely a full night — dusk to dawn — spent trapped and struggling, the kitten’s plight was noticed by mail carrier Andy Brulotte. He called for help. A police officer, a public works employee, and a woman who happened to be walking by worked together to free the cat, using a sledgehammer and crow bar to remove the grate and dish detergent to lube the cat to pull it out.

After her harrowing ordeal, the kitten got a vet visit and a new home. Brulotte had fallen in love and took her home, where she was immediately one of the family. Her name is now Kismet, although he did consider calling her Houdini.

The crew of the HSC Gotlandia II in Sweden heard the cries of a cat trapped under their ferry. Presumably the cat fell into the water, possibly after walking on thin ice, and climbed into the ferry’s water jets in its attempt to get to safety. Luckily for this kitty, crew member Johan Skärkarl spotted it and sprang into action, donning his wetsuit for a cold water rescue.

Fellow crew member Stellan Stenberg videoed the rescue. Once ashore the cat stayed near the rescuers. Stenberg posted the video on YouTube in hopes of finding the cat’s guardians.

Johan Skärkarl swims to shore with the rescued cat on his stomach.

Once ashore the cat stayed near the rescuers. They hope this video will help locate the cat’s guardians.
