After the devastating inferno that engulfed a Valencia apartment block, the owner of a beloved cat named Coco had given up hope of ever seeing her pet again. However, after eight long days, firefighters managed to rescue the feline from the shell of the building. The reunion between owner Andrea Rubio and Coco was an emotional one, with tears streaming down Andrea's face as she held her furry friend in her arms once again.
It was a miracle that Coco had survived the tragedy that claimed the lives of 10 people and around 100 other animals. The cat was found two floors above Andrea's 11th floor flat, smelling of smoke but otherwise unharmed. The details of how Coco managed to survive remain a mystery, but what mattered most was that the beloved pet was alive and well.
After being checked by a veterinarian, Coco was allowed to spend the night with Andrea and her partner Javier Fernandez in temporary housing provided by the council. Firefighters shared photos of Coco, who had taken refuge in a fire hydrant niche. They had been asked by Andrea to retrieve Coco's body if they found it while recovering belongings and documentation from the gutted apartments. However, much to their surprise and delight, they were able to reunite Coco with its owners.
A spokesperson for the fire department expressed their satisfaction in finding and returning Coco to its owners. And the local police confirmed that the cat had indeed been recovered more than a week after the tragic fire. The photos of Andrea cuddling Coco as she cried, taking the cat out of a small holdall and giving it water, were a heartwarming sight.
According to an animal adoption association in Valencia, nearly 100 pets had perished in the fire, along with 10 people. Among the victims were a family of four, including parents of a newborn baby and a three-year-old boy. One of the victims was a Ukrainian woman named Elisa, whose pet dog also died in the fire while she was out running errands with her partner.
The tragedy also claimed the lives of an elderly couple who lived in one of the 138 apartments that were destroyed. The cladding around the building has been blamed for the rapid spread of the fire, preventing the victims from reaching safety in time. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing, but initial reports suggest that it may have been caused by an electrical fault. In the midst of such devastation, the miraculous survival of Coco brought a glimmer of hope and joy for its owners and the community.
