The Cuban crisis continues to produce unusual scenes: this Thursday, animal protectors in Sancti Spíritus called the firefighters to rescue a cat with mobility issues stuck on a roof, but they reported that they could only respond after 12:00 p.m., when they would have a vehicle available.
The ARCA Sancti Spíritus Foundation reported on Facebook that, ultimately, the cat with dysplasia had to be rescued by workers from the Social Assistance Labor Center, where the feline was located, due to the absence of assistance from the firefighters.
"The social worker Miguel Andrés Díaz Abdura set out to carry out the rescue on his own," ARCA stated in its publication.
Furthermore, she explained that the cat, named Floni, belongs to an elderly neighbor in the area. Although it is still unclear how he managed to climb so high despite his disability, the foundation emphasized how remarkable animals can be in situations like this.
"The social workers of our city leave a beautiful message that much can be done for animal protection," the foundation noted.
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 remarked that firefighters do more for animal welfare than other institutions, such as the police and the Ministry of Agriculture, which are responsible for the protection and care of animals.
In May, a dog trapped in a rock near the wall of the Malecón in Havana was rescued by the firefighters of the capital, following a report made by an individual through their social media.
