Man saves cat from KPE tunnel drain

According to a TikTok post by @kazoku1606 on 10 Feb, the incident happened at around 3.50am.

“Today about 3.50am while driving along KPE tunnel.. Suddenly I saw a cat was siting at the drainage cover alone,” he wrote in the caption.

Concerned for the cat’s safety amid the risk of passing vehicles, the Original Poster (OP) decided to stop and help.

The video showed him approaching the frightened feline, which was hiding in the drain. The OP then panned around to show there was no one around.

The video ended with the cat safely drinking water in a pink pet carrier. “Manage to save the cat.. Syukur Alhamdulillah (thank God).. Thks Allah,” he said, expressing gratitude after the successful rescue.

A netizen thanked the OP, saying that a “person with humanity” saved another life.

A commenter felt that it was “super kind” of the OP to stop and save the cat.

A TikTok user urged the OP to be more careful next time, as it is dangerous to stop in the tunnel.

Another commenter shared that they had also previously rescued a cat from a flyover’s central divider.
