A community cat was stuck inside the exhaust vent of a Little India eatery for 2 whole days before a passer-by spotted it yesterday (4 June) at around 1am.
The passerby spotted the cat who meowed at him and quickly realised its plight via a worker who worked at the eatery.
Chain of events
The passerby, Nitass Sutaveephamochanon, then called the SPCA.
However, SPCA then told him to call NParks instead as the exhaust vent was too high.
So Nitass called NParks, who requests for photos, which Nitass obliged.
Nitass then calls NParks to follow up, and they told him the case was being forwarded to the person in charge and that they would call him back.
NParks calls back, says they are unable to help on the same night because they need access to be granted by the eatery’s owner; they then said that they will contact the restaurant in the morning instead.
The police soon arrived (Nitass says he was not the one who called them) and try to contact the restaurant.
A member of the cat community manages to contact the eater’s owner and they make their way down.
They then tried to retrieve the cat but couldn’t find it, the eatery owner then said that they would ask their contractor to check the vent in the morning.
That afternoon, NParks provided Nitass with an update but didn’t mention if the cat was rescued.
However in the late afternoon, NPars revealed that the cat emerged from the vent and had ran away.
