A blind senior cat was rescued from a frozen lake in Westfold, Massachusetts after becoming stranded on an ice chunk. The cat, who is in his 20th year, was spotted by a woman walking by the lake who immediately called animal control. The situation quickly became dire as the cat fell into the water, but two men working nearby saw what was happening and rushed to the rescue.
No matter how self-sufficient and independent we might be, everyone is bound to find themselves in a place where they could really use a hero. Likewise, when we see someone else in a situation like this, it’s always admirable to rise to the occasion and become that said hero in need. A few days ago, a story about this exact thing went viral online. A blind senior cat in his 20th year left home at night and ended up stuck on an ice chunk in the middle of a freezing lake.
Hours later, things were looking dire, and they probably would’ve ended tragically if not for a few heroic locals who intervened just in time. A woman walking by the Nabnasset Lake in Westfold, Massachusetts, noticed a cat stuck on the ice in the middle of the lake and immediately called animal control. It was the 16th of December when a woman named Dawn—while walking by the Nabnasset Lake in Westfold, Massachusetts—noticed a cat-resembling figure frantically trying to find a way off of an ice chunk in the middle of the freezing water. Realizing what was happening, the passerby didn’t waste a moment, immediately calling Wesfold Animal Control. The rescue team headed over almost instantly, but while they were still en route, the situation turned dire very quickly. “The cat was now submerged in the water with only his head showing,” Wesfold Animal Control staff shared the details on theirFacebook page. Before animal control could arrive, the cat fell into the water and was moments away from tragedy, but a couple of men working nearby saw the situation and rushed to the rescue. Fortunately, a couple of men, Kris and Nate, who happened to be working remotely nearby, noticed the situation just in time and rushed to help. They were quick to pick up a boat lying close to the lake, and with Kris pushing, Nate jumped to the rescue, grabbing only a shovel to use as a paddle and icebreaker
