What To Do If Your Animal Is Trapped

Last weekend, my friend, Mei Leng, called me late one night.

Mei Leng feeds her apartment cats and she has even got them spayed-neutered. One of these cats (one called “Michelle”) had apparently got trapped in the pump room and Mei Leng could not get anyone to open the door for her.

Mei Leng went out on her evening rounds to feed Michelle and friends, but when Michelle did not turn up, Mei Leng searched for her, and when her name was called, Michelle meowed very loudly.

The meowing was traced to the pump room.

Mei Leng alerted the guards but no one would open the door for her.

Poor Michelle was meowing and crying for help. Mei Leng was worried in case Michelle had got injured in the room or was stuck somewhere.

But that’s the way things are – it’s a cat, not a human. The guards would not open the room.

Mei Leng called the management to seek help.

By later that night, still, nothing was done.

I called friends for help and advice and was told that if the management still does not wish to respond, the next option is to call the fire brigade because this entails rescue work.

No point calling the DVS since they don’t do rescue. They only address abuse cases.

The next morning, I checked with Mei Leng and thank goodness, someone did come to open the door and Michelle was found.

That was such a relief!
