GUILFORD COUNTY, North Carolina (WXII) — Cat-astrophe averted! Animal services in North Carolina sprang into action after a cat got stuck on top of a building with a Doritos bag on top of his head.
Officers said they got a call about a stray cat that was stuck on top of a house at a new construction site. When they arrived, officers saw the cat had a Doritos bag stuck on his head, and he was not moving.
Officers said they couldn’t tell if the cat was frozen in fear or if he was having trouble breathing.
The Greensboro Fire Department was called to assist. Firefighters climbed onto the roof to reach him, but when they got close, he started squirming.
Eventually, firefighters were able to safely take off the bag, put him in a carrier, and bring him down from the building without a scratch.
Now dubbed “Battalion Chief Dorito,” the cat is safe at the shelter. Officials say he is about 5 years old and is still recovering from a very unexpected situation.
He will be listed on the Guilford County Animal Services website when he is available for adoption.
