Someone’s cutting onions again, because my eyes are all watery…
OK – you caught me. I may be tearing up over this touching video I’m about to share with you. (But you can use the onion excuse if you need to!)
Statistics show that 64% percent of households in the United States have at least 1 cat, with 24% of homes having 2 or more! With numbers like that, you can imagine why firefighters run into plenty of cats needing rescued from burning buildings. This video shows how heroic these firefighters really are. They risk their lives for everyone, including our beloved cats! We can’t thank these brave men and women nearly enough for their daring!! I hope you enjoy this beautiful video as much as I did, but you might want to grab the tissues first. <3

Knowing that these firefighters care for these cats is truly heart warming! I’m so grateful to firefighters everywhere!
