Watch: Firefighters Rescue A Cat Trapped On A Roof For Five Days

Firefighters in California, US, rescued a lonely cat that had been abandoned on a building's rooftop for five days and was starving and thirsty. Sammy the cat had to be rescued from the roof of an apartment building in Kingsburg, and firefighters encountered some difficulty getting there.

"The locals initially tried to rescue the cat by climbing up a roof, but the ladder was too short to reach the top of the structure. After this attempt, the Kingsburg Fire Department was summoned to the scene, and they were able to set a trap on the roof and bring Sammy back down to the ground," reported the United Press International.

The video of the firefighters saving the cat from a rooftop was uploaded on Facebook by Bambi's Army, an organisation dedicated to animal rescue.
