The Italian coast guard began procedures you would normally see performed on humans. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation appeared to be working and after a few minutes, the kitten began to show signs of life, coughing up water and meowing.

The officers took the kitten to the port, dried it off and called a veterinarian to check on him. The vet deemed the kitten to be in good health. They took such a shining to the brave little cat that he has since been ‘adopted’ by the Marsala maritime district office.
They named him Charlie.
