A kitten had to be rescued after it got its head stuck in the base of a basketball hoop.

The unfortunate little kitty, from Louisiana in the US, risked suffocation in the tight spot but fortunately firefighters were on hand with the right tools for the job.

He and colleague Richie Carter worked together to cut the little one free, and even had time for a team photo after the extraction.
