Yesterday afternoon, the Houston SPCA rescue ambulance, Harris County Precinct 1 deputies and a traffic light installer worked for six hours to save a little kitten that was trapped on top of a 30-foot tall support beam under a portion of Highway 90 near S. Post Oak in Southwest Houston.

The team managed to place a small trap high along the beam for the scared feline. The kitten eventually made her way inside and was promptly returned to the ground.
