Orange County Fire Authority firefighters came to the rescue of a senior cat who got stuck inside a hole in its family’s fireplace in Seal Beach, authorities said Saturday.
The family first called Orange County Animal Care on Friday about pet, which was believed to be between 9 and 11 years old. The agency asked for help from OCFA Engine 44, and firefighters responded.
Apparently, “Franny” was new to the family and crawled into a hole in under the fireplace about the size of a brick, the OCFA stated.
After several attempts, firefighters were able to pull the cat out of the hole and she is now settling into her new home, fire officials said.
