Alerted by faint miaows coming from the street, a rescue team discovered an adult cat trapped inside a stone wall.
As reported by the website The Dodo, the animal had apparently squeezed into a tiny gap between two stone walls.
A tricky rescue operation
The rescue took place in the coastal town of Rush, north of Dublin in Ireland. Officers from the NSPCA (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) were rushed to the scene, where they found the poor creature in a state of severe distress.
The extreme narrowness of the gap made the extraction particularly tricky for the team.
Back home with her family
"The operation had its delicate moments, but she was safely extracted, escaping with only a few superficial scratches for both her and the inspectors," explained the animal welfare charity.
During a routine veterinary check, a microchip was scanned. This revealed that the cat's real name was Snowy, and she was able to head back home once her registration details were updated.
According to her owners, Snowy quickly settled back into her daily routine alongside her family and the household's two dogs, Alfie and Milo.
