Quote: "Every life matters! These two frightened furballs waited over 20 hours to be rescued from the rubble! They were found in an area of total destruction – where it seemed no life could have survived…

The emotions of one cat’s owner are hard to describe – tears of joy that her grey fluffball, a beloved family member, is alive! And this morning, emergency workers found a tiny spiky nose – a hedgehog – beneath the ruins." 

Background: Just recently, rescue workers pulled a puppy out from under rubble in Sumy Oblast following a Russian airstrike.
