Heroic Kitty's Frantic Meows Saves Owner From Fire
Some people may think that cats are only good for looking pretty and hanging out in bodegas, but it's not true! There are some heroic pussies out there doing their darndest to save the humans from themselves—and that includes Nino, a 4-year-old black cat who alerted his owner to a fire going on in their Manhattan building this week. “I feel like he saved my life,” Claudia D’Argenio told the News.
Nino, who was a stray picked up by Animal Care and Control on the border of Brooklyn and Queens, was taken off the euthanasia list thanks to City Critters, who then hooked him up with foster mom D'Argenio. "He was super shy to begin with, but once we placed him in foster home with Claudia, he blossomed," Jordana Serebrenik, foster care coordinator for City Critters, told us. "He's scared of new people, but he was really sweet with her."
