Cat rescued after spending five days trapped underground

A missing cat has been reunited with its owner - after being trapped for five days underneath a block of flats.

Residents heard the cat's cries from the foundations of the flats in Dundee, Scotland.

Animal Rescue Officers Stephanie Smillie and Lucy Rattray discovered Cleo, a 15-year-old Bengal, was stuck five feet underground and began a rescue.

Scottish SPCA's Stephanie said: “Cleo had been there for over five days with no access to food or water, so we knew we had to do everything in our power to get her out safely.
