The rescue took place on the Ohio Turnpike in Portage County near Cleveland, US, as reported by What’s the Jam.
Footage shows Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) officers helping to dismantle the lorry’s wheel to free the fluffy feline.
The animal is then placed in a box and handed over to two volunteers of the Portage Animal Protection League.
A OSHP spokesperson said in a pun-filled statement: “Watch this meow-velous rescue of a kitten stuck in a semi’s wheel well.
“This seemingly im-paw-sible rescue mission had a happy ending.
