Trapped for 5 days, kitten rescued in Dhaka
A kitten has been rescued five days after it was trapped in a plumbing system of a building in Mohammadpur area of Dhaka thanks to the efforts of a volunteer group of animal lovers.
The kitten remained trapped in a hole in the first floor of the building no. 5 in Japan Garden City after a plumber plastered it on June 25, rescuers said.
Despite hearing its wailing, the residents could not rescue it. Later, the voluntary organisation ‘Care For Paws’ came to know the matter through Facebook and went to the spot to rescue the cat yesterday.
“We brought a worker with us to remove the plaster of the plumbing system,” Sourav Shamim, chairman of Care For Paws, told The Daily Star.
It took nearly three hours and a half to bring the offspring out of the hole alive, he said.
“The residents of the house and a fire service official helped us to rescue the it,” he added.
Sourav, later, took the lucky kitten under his care.
Care For Paws began its journey two years ago as a non-profit animal welfare organisation for the betterment of helpless stray animals.
It rehabilitates animals those are neglected, abused and injured on the street. With the help of volunteers and Vets, the organisation coordinates and intervenes directly to rescue animals from harmful situation.
