Fire crews were called after a cat was found with its head stuck in a drainpipe in Clevedon on Saturday (23 November).
The cat, a female named John, had to be freed with the pipe still wrapped around her neck, before she was taken to a local vet to have it removed.
She is now reportedly doing well and suffered no serious injury.

A statement from Avon Fire & Rescue Service said it had to use ladders and tools to cut John out.
“The easiest and least distressing option was to cut a section of the pipe out with John in situ,” it said.
“John was then transported to a local vets who sedated her in order for the rescue to continue where no serious injury was found.
“John was left with the vet and her family to be checked over by the vet until well enough to return home.”
