A group of firefighters carried out the rescue of a cat on Tuesday that was apparently trapped on the roof of a colonial-style house in Sancti Spíritus.
The ARCA Sancti Spíritus Foundation shared on Facebook the moment when firefighters climbed onto the roof with a ladder to rescue a cat that was undoubtedly terrified.
ARCA expressed gratitude to the rescuers, stating that "we can always count on them; they are always ready to help us because animals are important to them. Thank you to all the firefighters," they stated.
In the comments, several people agreed that firefighters do more for animal welfare than other institutions, such as the police and the Ministry of Agriculture, which are responsible for ensuring the protection and care of animals.
Dianilys Torres said, “The firefighting team in Sancti Spíritus does more for animal defense than the PNR itself and the Ministry of Agriculture, who are utterly incompetent. Congratulations to the fire department.”
In May, a dog that was trapped under a rock near the Malecón wall in Havana was rescued by the firefighters of the capital, following a report from a person who alerted them through social media.
“Help! I just found this puppy here in the sea, I have no way to help him, but please, someone who can rescue him. He is here on the Malecón, right in front of the statue of Maceo,” said the user on her Facebook profile.
A similar situation occurred in 2023 when a team from the Bomberos de Cuba responded to a call for help from a person who needed assistance rescuing a dog that had fallen down a ravine in Havana.
"Group of protectors from the Playa municipality, together with the boy who reported the case and the firefighters, collaborating to rescue the little dog from the ravine," said the Cuban Alexa Milena Duran Ruiz in the Facebook group Somos Tu Voz, where she shared images of the incident.
