Heroic Man Rescues Cat From Earthquake Debris In Turkey In Heartwarming Video (Pictures and Video)
If you didn't read about it in the news, two consecutive large-scale earthquakes shook Turkey to its core last Monday. One thing that not many people know about Turkey is that is home to over one million stray cats. This may sound like a problem, but Turkish people are total cat lovers, and many people take care of street cats as if they were their own. Needless to say, many people and animals have been affected by this devastating event.
However, one heroic man filmed himself looking for a poor kitty in need amongst the rubble. In the video, you see him searching for the cat, calling for him, and eventually finding him. We can see him digging it out, trying to get it free. We assume he stops filming eventually so he can use both hands, but the cat's cries for help pierce right through our souls. We found an update on Instagram showing us that he did, in fact, save the cat! Thanks to this hero, the cat is alive and well, with only an injured leg. This video really made our day, and we hope it does for you, too.

Poor kitty looks so scared! Who knows how long he was under there, but we're glad someone found him. It goes to show that humans can be the good guys when they need to be. Luckily Turkish people love their cats, maybe even more than we do.

Don't worry, little guy! You'll be out of there in no time. The cat is probably thinking, "Put down your stupid phone and use both hands to help me, stupid hooman!". Well, that's exactly what he did. After the 15 second mark on the video, it's a bit hard to tell what happens, but thanks to the update below we know he successfully saved this poor kitty.
