Concerned residents spotted a distressed feline struggling to get its head out of a jar, leading them on a multi-day rescue mission in Irvington, New Jersey.

When neighbours say the poor cat stumbling around with its head stuck tight in a glass jar, it was clear the animal needed urgent help.

Impossible to catch cat

Despite numerous attempts by locals, including Marcia Sandford Fishkind and Eileen DiNicola, to catch the cat, their efforts were unsuccessful.

Their next step was to turn to renowned animal rescue expert John Debacker for help via Facebook.

Promising future for Merry

Despite it interrupting his Christmas plans, John rushed to the scene and carefully approached the cat, eventually managing to capture it without causing further distress. With the feline safely contained, John gently removed the jar from its head, much to the cat’s relief. 

Named Merry by the rescuers, the cat was transported to Brick City Kitties Rescue, Inc. for medical attention. Thanks to the collective efforts of animal lovers, Merry received the care she needed and was deemed friendly and ready for adoption. 

Her future now appears promising, all thanks to a collaborative rescue operation.
