The post said Swansea police, the local highway department and animal control officers teamed up for the rescue.

The cat was taken to Mass-RI Veterinary ER, where veterinarians were able to safely extract the feline and ensure the animal was not seriously injured.

The cat was taken back to the Swansea Animal Shelter, where he was later reunited with his owner.
