A Florida firefighter who helped rescue cats and dogs from a massive fire at an Orlando animal shelter has made one of the felines he saved a part of his family. Brett Maneri said firefighters found Mia the cat hiding behind a cat condo in the burnt aftermath of the blaze that destroyed the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando shelter this week. “We picked her up, and after that it was just it,” he told Orlando news station WFTV. The fire that broke out in the shelter Wednesday night killed at least 13 cats, Pet Alliance said in on social media Thursday afternoon, noting that four cats were still missing. Emergency responders were able to save 45 dogs ― all the dogs in the shelter ― and 26 cats.
