On Wednesday, September 23, while the volunteer crew of PGFD
Ambulance 899 was finishing up paperwork after a transport to Doctors
Community Hospital in Lanham they overhead staff talking about a kitten that
was stuck in the parking garage. Before
leaving the hospital, the crew of Janet DeMeritt and Rajah Rose went to the
parking garage to see if they could provide some assistance.
They found a nurse who had tracked the kitten’s cry for help. She was unable to reach the trapped kitty and was relived that help had arrived. The crew of DeMeritt and Rose could barely
see the kitten in a confined space between a concrete support beam and the concrete
wall. The small kitten was only being
supported by a piece of metal rebar that prevented it from falling several feet
to the concrete below.
The ambulance crew used Jan’s petite hands to reach into the
small opening as Rose was able to negotiate a small rigid arm splint underneath
the kitten. After some maneuvering and
dealing with a scared kitten the pair was able to lift the kitten to safety.
A member of the hospital staff was going to take the kitten
home.
Job well done for having the initiative and ingenuity to
help to DeMeritt and Rose.
