A New Zealand cat now named Peanut has finally been rescued after running loose for two weeks with his head caught in a peanut butter jar.

“It was our last chance,” Annaliese England, Matamata Animal Trust manager, said of finally wrangling the trapped tabby on Monday, Stuff reports.

The stray was first spotted in someone’s backyard, whereupon residents tried unsuccessfully to capture him, sparking a community-wide cat hunt.

Unfortunately, the group effort proved equally fruitless as “he just kept running when people spotted him,” said England. Not only that, but attempts to trap Peanut were hindered by the fact that he couldn’t smell the bait with his head stuck in the container.

However, just when England had given up all hope of nabbing the evasive feline, she received word that Peanut had been spotted in a garden about 2 miles from his previous sighting.

“They called me, and we barricaded off the garden with crates,” said the cat rescuer, who initially had a hard time corralling her tabby as he was up against a trellis. She was finally able to use a pole with a rope to loop Peanut’s neck, before he could vanish into the crop fields behind him.

England immediately rushed him to the vet, where they were forced to sedate the poor kitty before relieving him of his portable prison.

“He was pretty skinny,” Peanut’s savior said of his condition. She deduced that the jar, which encased the kitty’s entire head past his ears, had restricted his air flow and forced him to go for two weeks without food or water.

Despite Peanut’s jarring ordeal, England is confident that the fortunate feline will find a forever home — that’s not a plastic peanut container. Peanut is currently slated to go to a foster home and get spayed in preparation for a new owner, a position that England claims many are vying for.

“It will be nice that he will get to see what a family is like,” she said.

Peanut’s not the only one saved from a tight spot as of late. Last week, some kind-hearted Wisconsin boaters rescued a baby black bear who they discovered swimming with its head stuck in a plastic tub.

Unfortunately, animals getting ensnared by various receptacles is becoming increasingly common amid the global spike in plastic pollution, which has been found everywhere from the Alaskan wilderness to the Mariana Trench.
