‘He's shivering’: Stray cat gets stuck 4 stories up on a Boston brownstone for 12 hours, helpful hooman climbs the fire escape to guide the frightened feline back to safety (video)

While cats are usually not that scared of heights or narrow spaces, we could never blame any feisty feline who gets nervous being so high up on a fire escape, and this includes the adorable Cosmo in the video down below.

Eventually, after an honorable team effort, Cosmo got to safety and was later adopted by the same neighbor who made the call. Keep scrolling to watch the inspiring rescue video!
