Police chief helps cat found with can on its head

NORTHWEST, NC (WECT) – Northwest Police recently became aware of a cat near the railroad tracks with its head stuck with a can, according to a Facebook post.

When incident commander David Everett arrived on scene on Monday, May 20, he was able to locate the cat and successfully remove the can.

“We do not know if the cat sustained any injuries as it ran away. Chief Everett sustained a few scratches on his arm from the cat,” the NPD said in a statement. “We would like to thank the concerned citizen for calling.”

“If you use cans like these, please crush them when you put them in your garbage bins. Animals and wildlife could get stuck in them.”
