Pregnant cat survives Chatuchak market fire that killed over 1,000 animals

Not all was lost in the fire that swept through Chatuchak Market.

Despite the thousands of animals that perished, one feline survived the blaze.

She emerged from the wreckage bruised and burnt, but is now on her way towards recovery.

Rescued

A video posted on Facebook showed the cat crouching on the roof of a stall, amid the charred remains of the market.

A man used a long stick with a rope attached at one end to port the cat down.

The animal was later placed in a cage and brought to an animal hospital.

But there might've been more than one life saved that day.

After going through an ultrasound and X-ray examinations at the clinic, the cat was discovered to be in its first month of pregnancy.

The video's poster said she was carrying at least three kittens.

In addition, the cat was found to have blistered paws, a burnt hind leg, and pneumonia due to inhaling smoke.

But she will move on from the flames.
