SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – A seven-week-old female orange tabby named ‘Nala,’ rescued from a ceiling in Mesa late March, is now ready for adoption, according to officials with the Arizona Humane Society (AHS).
AHS received a call about a kitten stuck in the ceiling of a Mesa apartment, prompting a rescue operation on March 31. Crews located Nala using heat sensors, responding to her cries for help. Video footage shared by AHS captures the heartwarming moment of her extraction from a small hole cut out of the drywall.
After her dramatic rescue, Nala was transported to AHS’ Lazin Animal Foundation Trauma Hospital. She was found underweight for her age, dehydrated, with minor cuts on her abdomen, and suffering from an upper respiratory infection, stated AHS.
