MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — A cat stuck on the wooden barricades below the Stuart Causeway was rescued by Martin County Sheriff's Office personnel Tuesday.
The feline had made his way onto the causeway, then fell off the bridge and landed on the wooden barricades below, according to a post by the Martin County Sheriff's Office on Facebook.
Citizens who saw the trapped cat called the Martin County Sheriff's Office.
