Turkish Firefighter Adopts Cat He Rescued After It Refused To Leave Him

A video of a cat rescued from the rubble by a Turkish firefighter during the recent earthquake in Turkey has gone viral.

The cat was reportedly trapped in the rubble for 10 days and nights until it was rescued by a firefighter, Ali Cakas. Since then the animal has refused to leave its rescuer.

Ali Cakas, who is also the coach of the Turkish national mountain bike team took the cat home and named the animal ‘Enkas’ meaning ‘rubble’ in Turkish.

In the video, Enkas could be seen perching on Ali’s shoulder with an endearing look, adamant about being by Ali’s side.

Enkas has been adopted by Cakas and the cat has become the new mascot of Cakas’s fire department.

Verse of the Day

“And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.”
