Cat runs through flames in burning garage five times and carries out all five of her kittens


As parents, we know we would do anything to protect our children. Our desire to keep them safe comes before our own safety and well-being.

A mother cat stepped into a deadly situation when she saved her kittens from a burning building.

When firefighters were called to the garage fire in Brooklyn, they noticed the heroic cat carrying her kittens out of the burning building, one by one.

She returned to the burning building five times to save her babies, and after she had carried them to safety she touched each of their noses to make sure they were still alive.

The cat, later named Scarlett, then collapsed after her heroic rescue.

According to an account on Imgur firefighter David Giannelli noticed the brave cat saving his kittens.

“Scarlett herself suffered severe burns when she removed her kittens from the fire. Her eyes were blistered shut, her ears and paws burned, and her coat highly singed,” the post read.

“Most of her facial hair was burned off. After rescuing the kittens, she was seen touching each of her kittens with her nose to make sure they were all there and alive, as the blisters on her eyes kept her from seeing them, and then she collapsed unconscious.”

Brooklyn firefighters were able to extinguish the fire and get Scarlett and her babies medical attention. Sadly, one of her babies did not survive, but the others were treated and found forever homes.

Her story attracted worldwide media attention and was even the subject of several books about her, including “Scarlett Saves Her Family” and “The Bravest Cat.”

Scarlett was adopted by a Brooklyn family and lived 12 happy years with lots of love until her death in 2008.

An award was even named after her by The North Shore Animal League, which treated Scarlett and her kittens, to honor other heroic animals.

Scarlett is a heroic cat who selflessly walks through a burning abandoned building to rescue all five of her kittens.

Please share to pay tribute to this remarkable feline and all the other beautiful animals who risk their lives to save others.
