A kitten was rescued by a group of residents in Yishun after being trapped in a drain pipe at a HDB void deck on Wednesday (Jan 28). In a TikTok video posted on Thursday (Jan 29), several people are seen hovering over the drain and trying to free the trapped cat. The user told Stomp that he was walking home when he came across the group at Block 851 Yishun Street 81 at around 10pm, adding that the kitten was rescued about an hour later. According to the caption on the post, the cat had been stuck since morning and a plumber was later contacted to remove the drain casing. A man dressed in a pink T-shirt, presumably the plumber, is seen on the TikTok video using a screwdriver and hammer to remove the white drain cover. He also enlarges the drain opening by chipping away the surrounding concrete. The man is also seen attempting to guide the kitten out by using what appears to be a long bamboo pole from a nearby pipe opening, to no avail.  The cat eventually peeks its head out of the drain and a woman dressed in a white hoodie is seen lifting the kitten by its neck and bringing it into a cuddle.
