Middletown — First responders were called Sunday to rescue a kitten from a hole inside a desk at a fraternity house on the Wesleyan University campus, according to a statement on the Middletown Animal Control Facebook page. The kitten has no injuries from getting stuck and has been taken to Middletown Animal Control.

The kitten got its head stuck in the back of the desk at the fraternity house, on Hugh Street on the Wesleyan campus, said Dawn Kowalski, an animal control officer, who was part of the four-person rescue effort.

"It went to hide and it got stuck in the back of the desk where the wires are," Kowalski told Hearst Connecticut Media on Sunday.

When she came to the frat house after the occupants of the frat house called her, she said she heard the kitten and looked under the desk and saw its body, and gently moved the desk away from the wall.

"I saw that its head was sticking out and I'm like, 'OK, I need help,'" she said, adding she called the Middletown Fire Department.

She said it was "a multi-person job" to rescue the kitten, who she estimates is six or seven months old. She added she was feeding the kitten canned cat food while its head was in the hole.

"It was three firefighters and myself. ...They used pliers," she said, adding they were able to get the kitten out in a few minutes. "There was a black trim piece that goes around the hole where the wires come out. They pulled that off and that made the hole big enough for the kitten to just pop its head out."

The kitten had gotten into the fraternity house previously, Kowalski said.

"When I went last week, we couldn't find it. (The college students) leave the doors open, so it comes in and out," she said.

According to the Facebook post, Middletown Animal Control is asking the kitten's owner to call (860) 638-4030.
