Abseiling firefighters rescued a cat stuck on a ledge 18 metres up in Ramsgate.

Yesterday at around 11.30am, fire crews were called after the animal became stuck on a ledge in the Railway Tunnels at Marina Esplanade.

They were called by the RSPCA, which couldn't reach the feline because of the height of the ledge.

A height vehicle was sent to the scene along with the fire service Line Rescue Team.

The team abseiled down to the ledge to rescue the moggy, which was handed back to the RSPCA.

Escaped animals, unusual finds and news from the RSPCA can all be found here.
