@bransonareabreakingnews: Firefighters Tear Open Branson Home to Rescue 700-Pound Cat An extraordinary rescue operation unfolded in Branson after firefighters were called to remove a massive 700-pound orange tabby named Garfield from his owner’s home. The cat had reportedly grown so large that he could no longer fit through a standard doorway. After animal control determined he couldn’t be safely moved, firefighters were brought in with heavy equipment. Crews removed a large section of the home’s exterior wall before securing Garfield in a reinforced harness attached to a crane. Neighbors watched as the enormous cat was slowly lifted out of the house and lowered onto a specially reinforced transport platform. Despite the hours-long operation, Garfield reportedly remained calm throughout the rescue. The cat was taken for a veterinary examination, while his owner was left with a severely damaged house and one unusual question: How will Garfield get back inside?
