Social worker rescues cat in Sancti Spíritus: "The firefighters would come after 12 due to lack of a vehicle"

The Cuban crisis continues to leave unusual images: this Thursday, animal protectors in Sancti Spíritus called the firefighters to rescue a cat with mobility issues on a roof, but they reported that they could come after 12:00 p.m., at which time they would have a vehicle available.

The ARCA Sancti Spíritus Foundation reported on Facebook that, finally, the cat with dysplasia had to be rescued by the workers of the Social Assistance Labor Center, where the feline was located, due to the impossibility of getting assistance from the firefighters.

"The social worker Miguel Andrés Díaz Abdura set out to carry out the rescue by himself," ARCA stated in its publication.

Additionally, he explained that the cat, named Floni, belongs to an elderly neighbor in the area. Although it is still unknown how he managed to get so high despite his disability, the foundation emphasized how amazing animals can be in situations like this.

"Beautiful message left by the social workers of our city that much can be done for animal protection," pointed out the foundation.

Recently, animal protectors in Sancti Spíritus praised the firefighters of the province for rescuing another cat that had been stranded on a roof, as this time they had a vehicle available.

On that occasion, some people pointed out that firefighters do more for animal welfare than other institutions, such as the police and the Ministry of Agriculture, who are responsible for ensuring the protection and care of animals.

In May, a dog that was trapped on a rock near the wall of the Malecón in Havana was rescued by the firefighters of the capital, following a report from a person who alerted them through their social media.
