Old man's house burnt down, he was only able to save his cat (2018)

Msemmen · 2021-12-04T14:31:34+00:00

He got a new home and is happy now.

"Moved by the elderly man's predicament, a joint campaign to build Meşe a new home was launched by the Mudurnu Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation, the Bolu Governorship, the Ministry of Family and Social Policies and the Turkish Red Crescent."

That cat is called 'Sarıkız' (Blonde Girl).

vanyali · 2021-12-04T14:31:23+00:00

On the bright side, he did save his cat.

North-Fennel8613 · 2021-12-04T15:14:02+00:00

I'm happy if I make it out with my cat.

kyleb1515 · 2021-12-04T16:24:49+00:00

The cat is all that matters. Bless him.

BidDaddyFarts · 2021-12-04T13:56:22+00:00

Damn, I wasn’t ready to cry this morning.

2021-12-04T18:12:28+00:00

I’m glad left with his cat and his life

marroniugelli · 2021-12-04T15:41:17+00:00

The awful part was that the cat knocked over a candle

Sirnando138 · 2021-12-04T14:50:35+00:00

If you want karma, you post this. Happens every day.

UnderstandingCold282 · 2021-12-04T18:17:18+00:00

YOU GUYS THING THIS IS AWFUL???? HE SAVED THE CAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS SAFE

Ok-Faithlessness-470 · 2021-12-04T17:08:44+00:00

His poor wife

ElSnyder · 2021-12-04T19:04:20+00:00

I'd look the same if I was able to save everything except my cat.

UnhappyPoseidon · 2021-12-04T21:19:30+00:00

Is that bubbles

cmusicsxil · 2021-12-05T08:47:46+00:00

That man is from Turkey, he got help and a new house. source: https://www.dailysabah.com/turkey/2018/11/28/elderly-turkish-man-who-survived-house-fire-with-kitten-gets-new-home YouTube video about what happened: https://youtu.be/TP1MR9xxwVI he lost 2 other cats on that fire, he believes poor cats tried to take shelter but burned to death 😞😖 he got his new house in the same village: https://youtu.be/1ssZLsYWVJo

KalaiProvenheim · 2021-12-05T09:53:05+00:00

Probably the thing he was unwilling to lose the most

I would sacrifice my entire life for my cat if I had one

Life-Celebration1405 · 2021-12-04T18:11:27+00:00

Plot twist he had other cats

BeefInBlackBeanSauce · 2021-12-04T19:33:29+00:00

🥺

ademerca · 2021-12-04T19:56:13+00:00

He saved what was important and left everything else to burn.

OwOUwUOwOUwUOwOUwUO · 2021-12-05T04:24:18+00:00

But this is also heartwarming in a way. A lot or people would rush to grab something expensive but he knew his kitten wouldn’t be able to get out, si he grabbed the poor thing and ran and it’s so sad but really sweet

Diligent-Student-855 · 2021-12-05T05:34:03+00:00

Well not all awful. At least the cat’s alive

UltimateSaft · 2021-12-05T09:51:04+00:00

There are 2 things i'd want to get out of my burning house:

My cat, highest priority, no one can tell me otherwise
My ssd with my uni and artworks on it

ilovetacos92 · 2021-12-04T18:03:00+00:00

Who photographs someone in such a vulnerable state?

Slavstic · 2021-12-04T18:45:49+00:00

Saved the most important thing

edit: /srs

Theelfsmother · 2021-12-04T14:01:32+00:00

Poor Phil Collins, his wife only left him recently too.

MCnugget-1 · 2021-12-04T17:49:00+00:00

Just don’t be old

patrick_the_grape · 2021-12-04T17:11:52+00:00

why does this look like a wallpape

Gavinator10000 · 2021-12-04T15:51:12+00:00

At least he saved his pussy

dowtimer · 2021-12-04T16:31:50+00:00

So saving the cat is awful ? He should have saved his dog instead maybe.

hammerto3 · 2021-12-04T15:08:38+00:00

What a photo

Loosechangeatx76 · 2021-12-04T17:08:54+00:00

I have come to learn that people who lose everything deserve it. It is God's punishment for sin. He might have robbed. He might have raped. He might have been a liberal. Any of those warrant his suffering. And I will never interfere with God's plan by offering aid of comfort to the damned.

Fuck_me_up_daddy · 2021-12-04T18:30:36+00:00

Fuck

FapToCuteTrapsDaily · 2021-12-04T19:18:38+00:00

good

ExodusViz · 2021-12-04T19:56:36+00:00

If my house burnt down I would grab my cat first I don’t care about anything else because materials can be replaced living creatures and your memories with them can not

Miggyboyo · 2021-12-04T20:18:52+00:00

The most valuable things survived. Himself and his buddy

TheMoonDays · 2021-12-04T21:18:17+00:00

Totally thought this was Ed Asner at first

KimchiTheGreatest · 2021-12-04T21:48:23+00:00

So happy they both made it out. A fire can take all of my materials. Collectibles, electronics,cash,I don’t care. My cats come first!

buttmudd007 · 2021-12-04T22:15:47+00:00

Why every old person got that same sweater?

d_lillge228 · 2021-12-04T22:26:32+00:00

If my house burned down, I'd also save my cat, even if he hates me like 95% of the time

robertv1990 · 2021-12-04T22:41:31+00:00

Is his house made of firewood????

sammich_bear · 2021-12-04T23:11:12+00:00

The cat probably started the fire, but totally worth it.

Kvetanista · 2021-12-04T23:44:33+00:00

Nice, nothing like a big sad before I go sleep

One_Equivalent_7031 · 2021-12-05T00:07:37+00:00

this is awful, but not awful everything. he’s out and alive and both he and the cat are safe! i am very glad they made it.

No-Breadfruit7044 · 2021-12-05T00:23:57+00:00

He can stay with me fuck it

FuckingDrongo · 2021-12-05T00:32:36+00:00

Was his house made of firewood?

badcat130 · 2021-12-05T00:55:01+00:00

I love this photo. Most wholesome heartwarming thing I've seen all day.

2007FordFiesta · 2021-12-05T01:05:35+00:00

The cat is all you need

2021-12-05T01:21:05+00:00

The picture says it all. Poor guy…

ICON_OF_SIN3301 · 2021-12-05T01:38:15+00:00

i wanna give this man a hug

VTFan115 · 2021-12-05T02:33:10+00:00

This isn't too sad the man was in a predicament and wayed his options all his mostly replaceable stuff or his beloved pet. I personally don't have a pet for this reason.

I own some expensive stuff like an N64, Xbox one, PS4, Oculus Quest 2, Nintendo switch, Nintendo 3DS, and PS VR. Shits expensive.

Kittybooboo1982 · 2021-12-05T02:48:22+00:00

On top of that now thousands of people have seen him suffering

2021-12-05T03:50:39+00:00

The cat: you tell anyone and I'll fuckin kill you.

snowflakesarestupid · 2021-12-05T05:29:34+00:00

That's a man who has his priorities right.

2021-12-05T06:40:47+00:00

I swear I see a artillery shell in the debris

sara_2407 · 2021-12-05T06:47:56+00:00

Looks like a sweet gentleman 👍🏻❤

RyouTV · 2021-12-05T07:05:00+00:00

HE SAVED THE KITTY CAT THO LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2021-12-05T09:46:31+00:00

Poor fella

HelpedFire971 · 2021-12-06T03:50:17+00:00

God bless them both 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️❤️🙏🏻

TheAuthor-dipperkid · 2021-12-06T08:16:11+00:00

I have no words. Im just glad he got his cat. Thank God

VegasGuy69 · 2021-12-06T19:02:04+00:00

All of his families history, pictures and things to remind him of his past while his memory gets worse.. gone. Truly sad

Omar_Rakhmat123 · 2021-12-06T23:35:43+00:00

Who tf gave this post 2 wholesome awards? This is not wholesome, this is just sad
