A kitten is safe and sound, thanks to the help of an NHL star.

On Monday night, Brandi Holtby, the wife of Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby, posted videos on social media of a frightened cat in a drain on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge near Washington, D.C.

With the help of some amazing strangers, a can of tuna, and a bit of patience, we got her out! (She is in the box so we could walk her off the bridge without being clawed) pic.twitter.com/VbYHAN5TTt

The Holtbys, along with the help of some other strangers, managed to safely lure the cat out with “a can of tuna, and a bit of patience.”

The kitten was put in a box to keep everyone safe from being scratched but it was not clear whether the family were taking the little creature to a vet or to an animal rescue.
