Firefighters and animal officers freed little Vasia when the kitten became trapped behind a wall in his home with no way out.

Firefighters with the Kingston Fire Brigade of Kingston, Greater London, UK teamed up with local RSPCA officers to help Vasia and his family after the four month old kitten became trapped inside the wall.

The rescuers had to cut a large hole in the wall during the two-hour rescue operation and finally freed the terrified kitten.

RSPCA Officer Peter Yarde said: “Poor little Vasia was completely wedged in this tiny space.

“He could not move forwards or backwards and there was no way he would ever have been able to get himself out without help.

“The fire service was absolutely brilliant. They really went above and beyond to save this little fella who was just absolutely terrified. I don’t think I’ve ever felt a heart race so fast.”

Vasia’s owner Marina Sevciuk said: “I didn’t know what to do with myself when he was up there. I had no idea how to get him out and it was really frightening.

“It is such a relief to have him home again with us for Christmas as he’s part of our family.

“He was in shock at first but he seems fine now – almost as if it didn’t happen.”

This is London Local covered the story, and reports that Vasia was taken to the vet, where he was given a clean bill of health.
