Kitten trapped inside Lincoln statue rescued after 3 days
Stray kitten that became stuck inside a statue of Abraham Lincoln for three days has been rescued.
Authorities in Clermont, Fla., say they aren t sure how the 3-week-old kitten, whose muffled meows could be heard by staffers at the Presidents Hall of Fame, managed to get into the replica Lincoln Memorial.
"I don t see how a little kitten could have gotten up there," Humane Society spokesman Dan Davis told WKMG-TV in Orlando. "It couldn t crawl up there."
Local fire officials were forced to drill a hole in the top of the statue, and a firefighter was lowered inside to retrieve the tiny feline.
The kitten--fittingly nicknamed Abe--was treated for dehydration, but is expected to make a full recovery, according to the WKMG. And when he does, John Zweifel, the museum s curator, is hoping to adopt him.
