This was the second time in recent months officers from the 112th Precinct rescued a kitten. In August, another little cat got trapped under a delivery truck when the vehicle was stopped at a red light in Rego Park.
They also rescued a dog left in a scorching hot car for more than an hour in Forest Hills this past summer.
