Reddit Finds - Hero Cat
On March 30, 1996, Scarlett and her five kittens were in an abandoned garage allegedly used as a crack house in Brooklyn when a fire started from undetermined causes. The New York City Fire Department responded to a call about the fire and quickly extinguished it. When the fire was under control, one of the firefighters on the scene, David Giannelli, noticed Scarlett carrying her kittens away from the garage one by one.
Scarlett herself had been severely burned in the process of pulling her kittens from the fire. Her eyes were blistered shut, her ears and paws burned, and her coat highly singed. The majority of her facial hair had been burnt away. After saving the kittens she was seen to touch each of her kittens with her nose to ensure they were all there and alive, as the blisters on her eyes kept her from being able to see them, and then she collapsed unconscious.
What an awesome cat!
Had to include that last comment as it made me laugh out loud. :D
Wow, I'm totally a cat slave myself lol
My cat Bibi said hi to everyone!
A real hero, and only a cat. Fewer and fewer people's heroes, it's a shame...
What a story! First one I read today and I was crying. I bet she was a sweetie too. So glad they were all saved.
Seriously though, this warms my heart. Have a gang of cats myself and I love them 💕
Beautiful and extremely intelligent beings.
