Kitten rescued from Florida's Abraham Lincoln statue
No one knows how a three-week-old kitten could get himself stuck inside of a statue, but this Clermont, Fla. tiny bundle of feline cuteness cried for days while trapped inside of the President's Hall of Fame Abraham Lincoln statue. By Sunday afternoon the kitten had been rescued.
For three days, WKMG/CBS reported hearing the faint meows of a kitten stuck inside of a hand made statue. The Humane Society accompanied by the Minneola Fire Department were able to drill an opening in the top of the statue, and a firefighter was able to lower himself inside and rescue the all gray kitten.
Upon his rescue, the kitten was given some milk through a baby bottle and whisked off to the local veterinarian for a medical evaluation.
John Zweifel, the curator who made the statue is hoping to adopt the kitten.
Are you surprised that the kitten has been named "Abe"?
Many thanks to the compassionate firemen of the Minneola Fire Department and to all of the animal lovers out there not willing to let a tiny life go by without a struggle.
