Mother cat walks through flames 5 times to save kittens
from building fire in Brooklyn, NY
When the fire was under control,
one of the firefighters on the scene, David Giannelli, noticed Scarlett carrying
her kittens away from the garage one by one. Scarlett herself had been severely
burned in the process of pulling her kittens from the fire. Her eyes were
blistered shut, her ears and paws burned, and her coat highly singed. The
majority of her facial hair had been burnt away. After saving the kittens she
was seen to touch each of her kittens with her nose to ensure they were all
there and alive, as the blisters on her eyes kept her from being able to see
them, and then she collapsed unconscious
