No it's alive. I can see it breathing and I called 311 who submitted a ticket to animal control. It has also since moved up a little further inside the exhaust nozzle because my roommate can't grasp the concept of "leave it the gently caress alone". Edit: I am waiting on animal control to call back and advise.

Oh drat. Okay, change of plan. Leave the fuzzy wuzzy alone and go bake some cookies for the animal control people.

You should cover the dryer vent exhaust with some screen, so it doesn't happen again.

card board box or plastic bin with something you can cover it with, place over inside hole tight against wall, have someone outside make noise or push small stick in lightly, once animal out and trapped in box slide cover down gently between wall and box, carefully maneuver covered box out, remove top and get away, box may explode but up not then animal can go free

Prav posted:should be plenty op. worst case you get rabies which is a terrible way to die I'm pretty sure I'm up to date on my rabies shot but getting clawed up wasn't how I really wanted to spend my Sunday. I will be putting some screen over the vent to prevent this in the future. To clarify at this point the animal is deep inside my dryer and shows no sign of wanting to exit so poking it with a stick seems like an unwise move. Cookies may be an option. Animal control should be calling back in the next few minutes.

The dryer is gonna have to be disassembled. If I were you I'd find the model number (usually inside the door somewhere) and Google instructions on how to do so. Don't do anything until you get instructions from animal control but having info on how to get into the case of that dryer may come in handy. I work apartment maintenance. When we get calls like these we don't even call animal control until we've got the poor little guy out ourselves.

I think you should get some food to lure it out with. Begin by cutting up some carrots and celery, making sure they are small enough to be able to tempt the critter. Although I think placing them into a large cooking pot, because they normally come with a lid that you can use to trap the critter, would be a better option. The animal may also be thirsty. So why don't you put some water into that pot with the vegetables as well. Thereby making an almost irresistible lure. Now the animal may still be hesitant to go after the bait. Maybe you could use some black pepper to irritate the animals eyes and nose. You can blow the pepper into the vent from the other side. Salt may also be used to irritate the animals eyes even more. Once the animal does make its way into your trapped pot, slam the lid down. Now hopefully during this whole time you've preheated your oven to 350 degree. Place pot, filled with water, vegetables, seasonings and animal into oven and wait for the screaming to stop. Allow another hour per pound of animal. Remove pot and ladle soup into bowls, garnish with a wonderful radish rose. Serves 2-7 people.

Can't you turn the dryer on the lowest setting for like 30 seconds and encourage the animal to leave the dryer?

STATUS UPDATE  Animal Control called and a very nice desk lieutenant told me pretty much what I figured I should do which is turn the dryer and leave the garage door open. So I did that and took a picture for you worried internet people. I also asked the baby raccoon if it wanted to post but I didn't get a response so I'm presuming "probably not.  Here's to hoping that now that the washer next to the dryer isn't running anymore it will back out and be free. Vendagoat I am actually cooking delicious tacos with pork tenderloin, potato, onion, garlic, MC Hawking fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Oct 25, 2015 |

Ok well I tried to give the little tyke some tacos but he seems very warm and comfortable up in there but then again he might just not like the idea of chipotle ketchup on eggs.

The kitten has escaped. My housemate and I tried to catch it to get it fed and handed off to animal control but it escaped at high speed. Last spotted taking a flying leap into the gulch that runs by my place. Happy ending for this GBS thread, thanks for contributing everybody.

You should post on your local Facebook group to see if you can find the owner. The poor fluffy kitten is probably hiding somewhere close to your home.

The kitten was hiding there because dryer vents are warm and I'm assuming he was freezing. Put some smelly tuna or cheap wet cat food near where he got in from and see if you can put some sort of storage container around it so he can stay warm. Or buy a trap from Amazon and this will have an even happier ending when you easily find him a home.

I'm glad I didn't see this thread until after we found out it was a kitten. My advice would have been to block the exhaust port and run a hose into your dryer and fill it with water.
