A special thank you has gone out to a very helpful window cleaner who rescued a stranded kitten stuck on a roof in Bourne.
Window cleaner Nick Glover came to the rescue after little Molly managed to sneak out of her home in Bourne, Lincolnshire and climbed up on to the roof of a house.
Daredevil kitten Molly
Molly is only 12 weeks old, but had managed to get herself up on to the roof even though it was a difficult feat. It appears she crept out of her home the night before her rescue on Friday, 28 December.
Molly was spotted by a concerned member of the public, who said the little kitten was being dive-bombed by some magpies and crows.
RSPCA Animal Welfare Officer (AWO) Becky Harper was called to attend the incident, but Molly was too far up for her to reach.
Heroic act of a window cleaner
Instead of calling out the fire brigade to rescue the kitten, it was suggested a call be made to local window cleaner Nick Glover.
Becky said:
Nick immediately offered to help and arrived within 10 minutes. He then climbed up his ladder and gently picked up little Molly and carried her back down to safety where she was reunited with her owner.
She was a little cold and hungry but apart from that fine, I just hope this experience puts her off climbing on to roofs in the future – although it’s still a bit of a mystery how she managed to get up there considering how tiny she is!
I would really like to say thank you to Nick for helping Molly so quickly – and he gave his time free of charge. He saved calling the fire brigade out and it is great that this had a happy ending.
