MELAKA: It turned out to be a happy ending for a mother cat after firefighters from Alor Gajah rescued its kitten from a drainage pipe.

Melaka Fire and Rescue Department's spokesman said the kitten was trapped in the drainage pipe at the Mara Building in Alor Gajah on Friday (April 12).

The spokesman said a team from Alor Gajah Fire and Rescue Department led by commanding officer Mohd Salehin Abd Ghani managed to rescue the kitten by using a rope.
