Meet Luna, the kitten rescued from a drain in Otara, Auckland.

Luna was found deep in the ditch late on Friday night after being stuck for at least a day.

It took 90 minutes for Fire and Emergency New Zealand and New Zealand Police officers to pull the female kitten to safety.

The animal was not micro-chipped and had not been reported missing.

So one of the constables at Counties Manukau Police adopted and named the cat.

Luna's now happy and settled with a healthy appetite to boot.

As the drier months set in, you’ll be seeing this water gauge quite a bit. It’s a way for metropolitan Auckland to keep an eye on daily water usage. The aim is to stay in the green and below the daily target.

To see the gauge in action, visit www.watercare.co.nz

If you’re on tank water, when did you last look inside your tank? If you rely on rain to keep your household taps flowing, toilet flushing or stock watered, now’s a good time to check your levels, monitor your usage and look at booking a top-up early. Secure your water future by investing in an additional tank.
