Meet Pipe Cleaner.

This adorable black kitty was caught up in quite a situation last week in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

According to the Fort Walton Beach Police Department, the kitten had somehow gotten its head wedged inside a steel pipe.

“Boy, was he really stuck in there!” said the agency’s post, which included pictures of the predicament.

In one picture, his little face is seen poking out from his temporary prison. In a later picture, he is ensconced in a pink blanket in a deputy’s arms.

When all options appeared to be exhausted, folks with the Fort Walton Beach Fire Department arrived to help “get this sweet baby out and safe.”

Pipe Cleaner (“affectionately named”) was put up for adoption with the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society to find his “furever home.”

For questions about the animal, email adoptions@paws-shelter.org.

“Big or small, we try to help them all!” concludes the FWBPD’s post.
