Animal rights and rescue group Wildlife SOS recently responded to an alert regarding a drowning seven-year-old female leopard stuck in an open well in Maharashtra, India.

The footage, uploaded October 6 by the organization, opens with the big cat chilling on a makeshift ladder while a recovery cage is lowered into the shaft. Though initially wary of the box, the trapped cat eventually makes her way into the enclosure-turned-elevator.

The leopard was later taken to the rescue group's Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Center, according to Wildlife SOS.
