All animals have an instinctive and natural fear of fire, and they try to avoid it as possible as can. One cat proved, however, that there is one thing stronger than fear of fire: A mother’s instinct to protect her babies.
A cat named Scarlett and her five little kitties were living in an abandoned building in Brooklyn, New York when a fire began from mysterious reasons. When all hope seemed lost, what Scarlett did next is truly astonishing.
Scarlett walked through the blazing fire 5 times, rescuing each of her kitties one by one.
When firefighters found her, she was almost hanging on to life.
After carrying her little kitties to safety, she was seen touching each of them with her nose to make sure they were all there and alive. The blisters on her eyes kept her from being able to see them. Instantly after that, Scarlett collapsed unconscious.
Scarlett and her little babies were taken by one of the firefighters to a vets, where they were treated for several months until they were well enough to be adopted. A staff member at the clinic said that Scarlett was “spoiled rotten and treated like a queen”. As she well deserved.
