Details: The animal rights activists report that the night the Russians attacked Kyiv, the cat went to his food bowl. At that moment, there was an explosion: darkness fell, and the cat was covered with debris.
The pet was under the rubble for ten hours.
"Without the ability to move, without air and without sound. Darkness, dust and fear. He was saved because his owner knew exactly where the cat was supposed to be at the time of the strike. The emergency workers took him out from under the rubble of a concrete wall and ceiling in a clearly defined place," the Animal Rescue Group said.
Four other cats were rescued from the rubble of the apartments in addition to the tabby hero. All of them had owners who were looking for them, even though some of the owners were in the hospital.
