A tiny kitten, just three weeks old, found itself trapped in a narrow pipe at a commercial complex on Al Shafi Street, Al Rayyan. The poor thing remained stuck inside the pipe for more than 48 hours, crying out for help and drawing the attention of passersby. Once someone finally spotted the little feline, they alerted their social media network to gather more support for the rescue operation. Unfortunately, the pipe was blocked by a piece of wood, making it impossible for the kitten to escape on its own. Animal rescuer Pornprapha Phatanateacha was one of the many volunteers who came forward to help. Together with fellow rescuer Bouziane Boucekka, they tried to set a trap and lower down a rope to save the kitten, but unfortunately, the piece of wood made it impossible for the kitten to grip onto the rope. Throughout the rescue attempts, the mother cat watched on while holding onto her other two kittens. Fortunately, the team of rescuers never gave up, and eventually, the kitten was saved from the narrow pipe.
Yasmin Al Yafei, a volunteer, came to the rescue when it became difficult to comprehend the kitten’s predicament and location. She brought in two cameras and set them up inside the pipe to gain a better understanding of how to assist the trapped feline.
After obtaining the camera footage, Pornprapha, Yasmine, and their companions devised a strategy to ensure that the rescue operation went smoothly.
After careful consideration and evaluation, it became clear that the only solution was to dig into the ground. With approval from the building management, security guard Fahimur Rahman Shakil coordinated the operation.
Two animal lovers, Abeer Ahmed Al-Hamad and Umair Khan, joined forces with another volunteer to rescue a cat trapped in a building. Abeer worked tirelessly to secure additional assistance and called upon Umair, who runs a non-profit organization dedicated to helping cats. With his help, the team acquired the necessary equipment and labor to carefully drill through the floor and safely rescue the feline. Thanks to their combined efforts, the cat was saved and quickly transported to the Dragon Vet Center for medical attention.
According to the latest update, the little kitten is lively and full of energy, but it still needs to be bottle-fed since it’s not eating solid food yet. The volunteers are now on the lookout for a foster home for the kitten and its family who are still in the mall. This touching story is a testament to the incredible community spirit prevalent in Qatar. We at ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) commend and thank the compassionate individuals who went above and beyond to save the helpless kitten.
