PHOTO: Kitten rescued from under floorboards

Station Manager Steve Wintrip from Ongar Fire Station rescued a kitten that was trapped under floorboards in Ongar earlier today.

The curious cat had been exploring when she became trapped under the floorboards.

Steve rescued the kitten by 12:27pm and she was left in the care of her owner.

The kitten had yet to be named and her owner asked Steve is he wanted to name her. He called her Millie and left her happily eating her food.
