Can you imagine how terrifying it would be to get trapped and have nobody to help because they can’t hear or see you?

I have no idea how hopeless it would feel to struggle for hours and get nowhere in the process — all while knowing that help wasn’t likely to come.

That’s probably exactly how this cat felt when he fell into a storm drain in Greece — that is, until somebody finally noticed him. When volunteers from Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS) heard his cries from down the street, they dropped everything and ran to rescue him. Watching them work together to pull him out, you’ll agree that they’re true heroes.

The poor little guy was so scared that he couldn’t stop crying when they gave him food.

It only takes one person who cares to make a huge difference. Now excuse me while I go give my cats big hugs (and get scratched in the process). If you’d like to donate to SCARS so they can keep doing amazing work, you can do so here.
