A missing pet kitten stuck inside a rusty pipe was rescued by residents in Thailand.

The nine-month-old moggy named Bak Hog Noi had been lost for five days until a neighbour heard her crying in the back of their home in Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand, on November 20.

Footage shows the residents working together to lure the exhausted feline to the end of the 25ft-long pipe.

The good Samaritans and the pet owner Wanvisa Jamtim, inclined the construction material before the kitten slid down.

Wanvisa said: ‘I had been looking for her since November 15, but I couldn't find her until someone told me they heard strange noises from the pipe. We were overjoyed when we found her alive.'

The kitten was taken to the veterinary clinic to ensure her healthy recovery.
