A woman from Pennsylvania, United States, found herself on a frantic rescue mission after her pet cat was allegedly sealed inside a wall by maintenance workers during a repair job gone wrong. The incident garnered widespread attention after footage of her daring rescue operation went viral on TikTok.

The distressing situation unfolded when Jay returned home and heard her cat’s desperate cries coming from within the wall. Concerned for her feline friend’s safety, she reached out to the maintenance “emergency line” for assistance. However, when they couldn’t be reached, Jay dialed 911, where she received a suggestion from the operator – to “kick a hole into the wall.”

After nearly a minute of painstaking effort, Jay managed to create a gap wide enough for the cat to escape. In a subsequent TikTok clip, Jay confronted a man she identified as the property manager about the incident, asking him to speak to the painters. Viewers expressed shock and sympathy for Jay and her cat, with many condemning the maintenance team’s actions and speculating about their motives.
