WATCH: KPRC 2′s Oscar Chavez rescues kitten stranded on roof

The kitten after being rescued (KPRC 2)

HOUSTONKPRC 2 photojournalist Oscar Chavez is best known for his work behind the camera, but he accepted a different title Wednesday: kitten savior.

Alongside reporter Gage Goulding, Chavez carried a ladder over to the side of a house where a small kitten had found itself stuck. He tried to call the young animal to safety, but the clearly scared kitten took some convincing.

After a brief negotiation period, the kitten was finally corralled and pulled from the ledge. Chavez and Goulding immediately gave the cat food and water. Although it was clearly startled by the experience, the curious rascal seemed very happy to be rescued.

Great work from Oscar and Gage!
