Tales of cat’s surviving in the most unlikely of situations are always heart-warming and inspiring, but Smoka’s ability to pull through is truly remarkable. The well-named kitty survived a fire which destroyed her home and was trapped under rubble for 26 days!
Owner Sandy LaPierre’s apartment building in Franklin, Ohio was torn apart by the fire and demolition crews had twice bulldozed the remains. But not only did hardy Smoka survive the fire, she also made it through two demolition exercises too! It wasn’t until a third round of work was about to begin that the workers spotted Smoka’s head poking out from under sixteen feet of rubble.
