A cat injured in the Russian attack on 24 May has been rescued in Kyiv after spending three days under the rubble. The animal, in serious condition, was handed over to veterinarians.
Censor.NET reports this, citing Kyiv Animal Rescue Group.
Cat found during rubble clearance
On the fourth day after the massive attack on the capital, people were clearing rubble in an industrial zone near Lukianivka. At that moment, a cat crawled out from under the debris and construction dust.
The animal was exhausted, burned and covered in dust. Volunteers said the cat had spent three days under the ruins.
"Covered in burns, construction dust, exhausted and silent, she had been hiding her pain somewhere all these days," the rescuers said.
Veterinarians fighting for animal’s life
The injured cat was taken to a veterinary clinic. Her condition is assessed as serious, and doctors are fighting for the animal’s life.
The cat was named Artemis, after the ancient Greek goddess of hunting. Volunteers explained that the name was chosen because of the strength, endurance and will to live the animal had shown.
Volunteers have launched a fundraiser for Artemis’s treatment.
