This is the epitome of a heart-melting, happy-ending story.
The Weld County Sheriff s Office Animal Control Officers recently rescued a feral kitten from a dumpster on July 14. Safe to say, their methods were anything but traditional.
According to the release, animal control received a report that a kitten had its head stuck in the drainage hole of a dumpster in an alley in Weld County a few miles south of Platteville. Officers arrived and, unsurprisingly, the kitten wasn t too keen on her situation and the people around her.
This is where the not-so-traditional method comes into play. Officers used vegetable oil to rub around the kitten s head and ears to help get her out of the drainage hole. They were able to minimize potential harm and work her head back through the hole. The sheriff s report says that she shot out of the drainage hole like a backwards cannon right into a strategically placed carrier .
