WATCH: Cat saved after getting head stuck in jar
A runaway cat has been saved after getting its head stuck in a jar.
It is believed Lulu, who was found in Woodwards Close in Walsall, had had the jar stuck around her head for several days.
A member of the public had tried to coax the frightened moggy out of some bushes to help her but they failed and called the RSPCA.
Inspector Beth Boyd crawled through the bushes to rescue the cat but could not remove the jar.
Watch the jar being removed from Lulu's head:
Lulu was taken to RSPCA’s Newbrook Farm Animal Centre where she was relieved of the heavy burden.
Inspector Boyd said: “Poor Lulu was in such a pickle, it seems as though the curious cat went to investigate inside the jar – which looks like one used for holding a candle – and then could not remove it from her head.
“Because she was like that for days she was unable to eat or drink so was very dehydrated. If we hadn’t have caught her when we did she could have died.
“It was so nice to see her having the jar removed. As you can see on the video she looked quite shocked by her ordeal but is now doing well and will be looking for a new home soon.”
Lula’s owner was traced however they signed her over into the RSPCA’s care and she is now available for rehoming from the RSPCA’s Blackberry Farm Animal Centre in Aylesbury.
