My cat (kit-cat) is stuck in between the floors of my house. Let me explane. So we were doing some repairs on a bathroom and we had to open up the floor and my cat got in between the space of the 1st and 2nd floor. How should we try to get her out this is the start of day 2 for her

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kit-Cat. I am so sorry to hear about her situation. Is she trapped or just scared? Place food and water where she can reach it. Try a high value treat to lure her out. If she is actually stuck though, you may need to tear up more flooring to free her. Once you recover her, I recommend that she sees a veterinarian right away. She should be assessed for wounds and dehydration. I hope this information helps!
