[SPCA Singapore](http://www.spca.org.sg/ "undefined") shared a video to [their Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/spcasingapore/videos/10154128657103155/ "undefined") of a kitten in desperate need of help. The tiny tabby cat managed to sneak out the window of his owner’s 12th story apartment and get stuck on the ledge below. Thankfully, the blanket wasn’t put to use. An SPCA rescuer equipped with an animal catcher’s pole, which featured a GoPro camera, was able to lower the loop out the window, snag the cat and carefully bring the pet inside. Thanks to the pole’s special accessory, we can watch the entire rescue. The above clip has the tension of a heist movie, the happy ending of a rom com and stars one very concerned kitten. Basically, it’s the blockbuster you’ve been waiting for — unless you’re afraid of heights. After this nail-biter of a rescue, the rattled but unharmed kitten was reunited with his owner, who was advised to add mesh to their windows to prevent further vertigo-inducing incidents. _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/pets/watch-gopro-camera-captures-vertigo-inducing-rescue-of-a-kitten-trapped-on-12th-floor-window-ledge/ "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4520495/kitchen-rescue-go-pro-window-ledge/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4520495/kitchen-rescue-go-pro-window-ledge/"},"headline":"Watch This Terrifying Footage of a Kitten Being Rescued from a 12th Floor Window Ledge","datePublished":"2016-10-05T21:40:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:22.830Z","description":"It has the tension of a heist movie","url":"https://time.com/4520495/kitchen-rescue-go-pro-window-ledge/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kelli Bender / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4520495/kitchen-rescue-go-pro-window-ledge/","name":"Watch This Terrifying Footage of a Kitten Being Rescued from a 12th Floor Window Ledge"}}]}] ```
