The most devastating earthquake in history has caused countless casualties and serious crises for Turkey and Syria. Thousands of people are trapped under rubble, desperate for rescue forces to come and save them.
When facing difficulties, the best qualities of human beings shine through the debris. Volunteers and forces from many countries have come to rescue their fellow humans they have never met before.
Even animals have a chance to escape dark nightmares with the help of these kind-hearted people. They seem to be aware of their situation and do not know how to thank their rescuers enough. Let's see how this sweet cat shows gratitude to its rescuer!
Turkish firefighter Ali Kakas appears in the video with the black and white cat in his arms, who is extremely frightened. Fortunately, although covered in dirt, the animal was not injured.
The rescuers named this cute cat Enkaz, which means "debris" in Turkish. They hope that the cat will bring hope to those who are suffering from pain and destruction.
Enkaz immediately bonded with the firefighters and even stood on Kakas's shoulders. Meanwhile, Kakas looked very proud of his new friend.
The video about this rescue went viral on the internet, with over 10 million views on Twitter. The public has praised Kakas's efforts to save every life.
Sadly, Enkaz's owner could not make it and lost their lives in the disaster, so Kakas took the cat to his home in Mardin, hundreds of miles away from the cat's old home. Enkaz now has a cozy home with a wonderful human companion and even an Instagram account.
Kakas also shared the sweet story of how he and Enkaz came together. He works at the Mardin Urban Fire Department, and his team went to Nurdagu to support local people immediately after the earthquake.
They saved five people from the Akan apartment building, some birds, and another cat, the latter of whom eventually found its owner.
Share this adorable story with your family and friends! Although it is a challenge for those who survive the disaster to overcome their pain and move on, we hope that this story will bring them hope and remind us of the kindness and compassion that exist in the world.
