Five-day-old kitten rescued by Walsall and Wednesbury crews after 13-foot tumble
West Midlands Fire Service have shared images of an adorable kitten who had to be rescued by their crews after a 13-foot tumble in an operation dubbed 'Little Red's Big Rescue'.
The five-day-old pet had fallen into a narrow wall cavity on Thursday (July 31) and had to be rescued by crews from Walsall and Wednesbury.
After being gently rescued, the kitten received veterinary care and earned the new name - Little Red.
In a post on Facebook, which features images of the kitten and rescue team, the West Midlands Fire Service said: "Thanks to the teamwork of firefighters from Walsall and Wednesbury, and our Specialist Technical Rescue Unit, “Little Red” was gently rescued, and is now receiving veterinary treatment.
"But what's with the name? Well, he was named after the red watch firefighters who rescued him, so we’re definitely rooting for Little Red as he fights to get well again!
"Thank you for your support at the scene too, Stray Cat Rescue Team West Midlands.
"The team there will be regularly checking in on our newest friend as he recovers from his fall."
