The rescuers brought the defenseless creature to the front yard and immediately started to treat the cat for oxygen deprivation using a special mask. Thanks to the fire department’s quick thinking and caring actions, the lucky cat is alive and recovering.
The rescued cat regains consciousness
The firefighters saved the house from being devoured by flames too. The homeowner was treated for minor smoke inhalation and will make a full recovery.
BEAUTIFUL — THANK YOU to wonderful Fire-Fighters for saving ALL lives — you’re the BEST — we love you.
What heroes. Emergency services come through AGAIN.
Thank you all so much for saving this cat. You all are fantastic.
What about the second cat?
I love when there is an occasional positive news story! Very commendable. They could have just left the kitty. For many people it would just be a cat so not that important. Very appreciative that these firefighters didn’t think this way and hopefully the owner appreciates this as well.
Right on, you are hero’s!!!!
Thank you to the firefighters for saving the cat!
Great news.Too bad they don’t make the rescue 911 show anymore. This would’ve been a good story to add.
Yes!
A very big thank you!
Thanku Fresno fire fighters for saving these kitties lives. 🐱🐈🐾🖤💙🧡
God bless these brave and courageous firefighters for saving the cats` lives.
Nothing is quite as beautifully intoxicating as compassion and unconditional love expressed by any being to any other being. Everything else pales by comparison.
It brings happy tears to my eye when I see “happy endings” to animals who have been abused. No living creature deserves to be mistreated in any way. They all have feelings just like we do….they sense pain too! My thankful heart goes out to all “Rescuers”!! I myself do what I can in my little neighborhood….as well as donate when I can to rescue organizations. Thanks for sharing these wonderful stories of love and kindness. :o)
Merci à ces HEROS!
Thank you Firefighters. You are heroes.
You are wonderful 💜
Not all firemen are always that caring towards animals in burning buildings. But I praise any of them that are. They have a nasty job so rescuing people’s pets are extras that they should be recompensed for. By the owners of the home if they care for their pets.

What happened to the other cat? There were two cats in the garage.
How nice! Thank you for saving this sweet little cat.
That was a very valiant act for the firemen to rescue the cat. What good people!!
That’s one thing I’d do if money were no object – all EMT services would have masks for cats and dogs.
All life matters to these wonderful people, and that would make their jobs that much happier.
Hoping the other cat is doing well, too <3
(I'd also make sure all K9s had protective vests)
What heros they are. Talk about brave. Thank you all for your service.
more good news
I feed 12 street cats daily
two off the 7 let me hold them the first one to befriend me follows me every where i go and takes all the walks with my two mutts.. which i walk one at a time
Bless and praise you! Our world needs more people like you <3
I hope Karma gives you everything you need, for yourself, your mutts, and those kitties you love
Maybe your two mutts would like a kitty-buddy? Sounds like its ready to come inside
And your doggies sound like they're good pups.
It took eight years to get a feral we were caring for to let me pet him 🙂
I’m a community TNR manager. Which only means I trap ferals, have them neutered and returned to their community. Of course I feed them and make sure they’re O.K. I have trapped 12 of them in 3 years and lost 4 to vehicles and perhaps wild animals. I’m very sorry because some were adoptable. Of course there’s no shortage of adoptable cats in Texas, so…The rest of them I ended up with, plus my own, one’s diabetic, the other’s getting on but I adore them all really. The only time I don’t adore them is when they mess with birds as I love ALL ANIMALS.
