Cat discovered ALIVE after being trapped under rubble for 15 DAYS
We were all left shocked and saddened when news emerged that over 290 people had passed away in Italy following a 6.2 earthquake.
Thankfully, a number of good stories followed the devastation: a 10-year-old girl was rescued after being trapped for 17 hours and a couple got married amongst the rubble.
And now a cat named Pietro has been found alive in Amatrice – an area particularly affected by the quake – 15 DAYS after the terrible quake struck.
According to Time, firefighters heard a faint meowing coming from the rubble and, after much searching, found his head before finally being able to free his trapped body.
Pietro was diagnosed with dehydration by a veterinarian in the city of Rieti and had a fractured jaw .
It is believed the feline survived by drinking rainwater.
