Italian Coast Guardsmen managed to save a seemingly lifeless kitten’s life.

A video posted to YouTube shows two people working to resuscitate the cat. It was spotted floating lifeless in the ocean, according to the Huffington Post.

The men in the video performed a few chest compressions and some mouth-to-mouth before the cat let out a few meows.

Photos posted to Twitter show the cat doing much better. According to a tweet, the cat was named “Charlie.”
