Firefighters had to free this stricken cat who somehow got wedged upside down between two garages.

Unlucky Marv somehow got wedged in a five inch gap between his owner's garage and their neighbour's and was dangling for around two hours.

RSPCA workers in Hanham, Bristol, couldn't coax him out and firefighters were forced to tunnel through the garage wall with a chisel to get him free.

Miraculously shaken Marv wasn't injured and was happy to reunited with his schoolgirl owners Tilly and Bella Veale.

Dad Brendon Veale said: 'Marv does like to get into things, but this is definitely the smallest space he's managed to squeeze into. 

'He was a little shaken after his ordeal and stayed inside for a day or two, but he was otherwise unharmed.'

Marv was found when a neighbour heard miaowing coming from the side of his garage last Wednesday.

RSPCA animal welfare officer Simon Coombs tried to free the puss, but he was so tightly wedged in that he couldn't move him, and called Avon Fire and Rescue Service.


Fire fighters spent half an hour chiselling a breezeblock free from the neighbour's wall,  revealing Marv's tail and back legs so Simon could pull him out backwards.

Simon Coombs said:  'We don't know how Marv got into the space, it may be that he fell into the gap and struggled to get free only to get himself well and truly stuck.

'As usual, we are immensely grateful to the fire and rescue service for their help, not to mention grateful to the neighbour, whose garage wall came off the worst in this incident!

'It was great to see Marv reunited with his family after this real team effort to free him.'
