Firefighters were called to rescue a feral kitten trapped between two exterior walls at a house in Leicestershire.
Crews were alerted just after 12:00 BST on Monday, when a resident on Curzon Avenue in Birstall reported hearing distressed cries from a cat outside.
They removed a fence panel and spent 40 minutes using specialist equipment, including a camera, to locate the kitten.
Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service said the feline had "been through quite an ordeal" and was taken to a local vet to be checked over.
