A Civil Defense rescue team in Saudi Arabia’s south-western town of Bisha saved a cat this week after it fell into a 13-meter-deep well.

The civil defense team shared photos on Twitter of the rescue operation, showing two officials reaching the bottom of the well using ropes, before luring the cat to a cage and pulling it up.

The photos went viral on Twitter and the civil defense was highly praised for its efforts and for responding to concerns over trapped animals.
