Officers performed CPR on the unconscious kitten, including mouth to mouth resuscitation.

After less than a minute of first aid, the lucky little kitten could be heard meowing again.

The little cat later received medical attention and is now understood to be in good health.

Port authorities were so touched that they decided to adopt the kitten, naming him Charlie.
