A kitten was saved in Indonesia after an animal rescuer carefully smashed the toilet the tiny cat had fallen into.

An animal rescue officer from the Kotawaringin Barat Fire Brigade used a hammer to chip away at the squat-toilet bowl, until he could reach in and lift the kitten out.

The dirty moggy was then given a gentle rinse with some clean water.

Homeowner Rizka was delighted the little one was rescued, despite the damage to his lavatory.
