He had left them in a stable. In the warmth of a barn, a place she thought was safe for her puppies and where she brought them food. But when she realized they were in danger she didn’t think twice and threw herself into the flames of a fire that broke out inside the barn. This is the story that comes from Edmonton, Canada, this is the story of Minka, a cat mother who suffered burns to her belly, paws and ears in order to follow her maternal instinct, in order to save her kittens from those flames that they were devouring everything in their path.

She did her best, but this heroic act of hers was not enough to save everyone. Eventually one of his kittens survived. Mother and puppy were then taken to a shelter which, although full for the animals present in the structure, decided to take care of them anyway: “When there are such emergency situations, no matter how full we are, I always do our best better and our carers are so wonderful that we realize it in these situations, we can’t let cats like that suffer, ”says Christine Koltun, the manager of Furget Me Not Animal Rescue.
A week after the tragedy, there is at least excellent news: Minka and Francis, so they were called to the shelter, better and little by little are recovering. “It has been an incredible week, in every sense: welcoming sweet Minka and Francis into our lives, watching them transform, watching her body heal, and, most incredibly, seeing not only our Edmonton family, but also lovers of animals from all over the WORLD who fall in love with her, she makes us understand what we have done ».
