Cat Rescued Weeks After Italy Quake

Firefighters found and rescued a cat on Sept. 9, 2016, found in the ruins of Accumoli, one of the Italian towns worst hit by the devastating 6.2 magnitude earthquake. It was not clear if the cat had been trapped under the rubble since the quake struck central Italy on August 24, or was buried under the rubble following an aftershock. The quake leveled three towns, killed nearly 300 people and left some 4,000 people homeless.
