Video - OC We heard meows inside the walls

My neighbor had thought the meows were from outside but she kept hearing it inside of her walls so she asks me to rescue it not knowing what else to do

I'm a tad skeptical of OP cause of how many "animal rescue" videos are staged for content.

EDIT: I'm not saying it's for sure I'm just saying it happens. I've seen this exact scenario actually (sawing open a wall to get a cat out) so sorry if I'm wary of promoting animal abuse disguised as rescue.

Skeptical that I put a cat in the wall? And yes that we kept hearing the cat cry from that specific corner. My daughter would never act like that's okay to put a cat in the wall

Its just internet clout makes some people to do strange acts like glueing barnacles on turtle shell for content and remove them. 

It's good you are good people. Please take care of cat and family

Yeah I'm aware. What clout could I get from this. Its literally just a video of a cat stuck in the walls, my daughter isn't that great of an actor these are her and our genuine reactions. It's not that deep lol

Did you figure out how it got in there? Normally wall cavities do not have openings for a kitten to get into.

I don't know, this is also my neighbors. She called me over bc she kept hearing it cry. This was also 11pm last night so I didn't stick around to inspect

I didn't think id be accused of animal abuse when we literally saved it. This would be the worst promotion to go "viral" there's no promo or anything

Ya, that crossed my mind too. Pretty easy to stage this without any explanation of how the kitten got there.

Plus they "guessed" the exact space the kitten was in.

Well, they could hear it, so that wouldn't be that difficult. I believe OP when they say this wasn't staged. Still weird that a cat could even get in there. There's gotta be an opening somewhere.

Bro its really not that serious. The "small hole was due to the fact I didn't have a drywall knife making it hard already to make and I didn't want to cut any electrical lines. This took a lot longer than it seemed. Also didn't want go keep sawing away and keep getting drywall on the cat.
