A tiny kitten stuck in a statue of Abraham Lincoln for three days is safe and sound after being rescued on Sunday afternoon.
Fittingly, the 3-week-old miracle kitty has been named "Abe."
Authorities could not figure out how little Abe got into the statue at the Presidents Hall of Fame in Clermont, Fla., but were determined to get him out.
The local fire department drilled a hole in the top of the statue, and a firefighter climbed in and retrieved the kitty. The dramatic rescue was caught on video.
"I dont see how a little kitten, a 3-week old kitten could have gotten up there," Daniel Davis of the Humane Society told WKMG in Orlando. "It couldn't crawl up there."
Little Abe was famished and dehydrated, but will visit a vet and is expected to be OK. John Zweifel, curator at the Presidents Hall of Fame, is hoping to adopt him, according to reports.
