A POV camera attached to a rescue rod shows the nail-biting rescue of a kitten stranded on a ledge 12 floors above the ground.

The clip, which was shared to the Facebook page SPCA Singapore, starts with a rescue rod being lowered outside of a window. A small kitten is trapped on a ledge only inches wide, and the rescuer attempts to restrain the cat using the rod's cord. Rescue workers can be seen on the ground holding open a blanket in case the cat jumps or falls.

In a moment of slight terror, the kitten attempts to evade the rescuer, but eventually backs itself to a wall and the rescuer is able to secure the device around the cat and lift it to safely.

According to the Singapore SPCA, the kitten was reunited with its owner and the rescue officer advised the owner secure their windows with mesh so that the curious cat doesn't slip out again.
