Moment passersby borrow scaffolding to rescue cat dangling out of a half-open apartment window

This is the heart-warming moment kindhearted locals rescued a frightened cat which got stuck in a half-open window 30 feet above the ground when its owners were out at work. 

The scared pet struggled to get back inside its second floor home for more than an hour in the Russian city Krasnodar.   

Alarmed passersby called the emergency services but they reportedly declined to assist.

So two men named Denis and Sergei borrowed some scaffolding from a nearby construction site, and one of them climbed upon towards the stricken animal.

Using a long metal pole, the rescuer managed to lift the cat and push it inside the window.

Local resident Marina Grinko praised the ‘heroes’ who rescued the pet, who included Sergei, her husband.
