Kitten rescued from car door panel by Florida sheriff's deputy

SANFORD, Fla., Oct. 19 (UPI) -- A stray kitten that managed to find itself stuck in a car door panel was rescued by a Florida sheriff's deputy.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office shared photos of Deputy Anthony McDaniel working with other deputies and Seminole County Animal Services to free the small, black kitten from a woman's Dodge truck.

The group initially struggled to free the kitten, as every attempt to move the door caused it to suffer a painful pinch.

Deputy McDaniel eventually devised a plan to grease up the kitten using baby oil, allowing the kitten to slip out as he carefully closed the door.

McDaniel and his family ultimately decided to adopt the kitten and named him Dodge, after the vehicle he was trapped in.
