This kitten was trapped in a burning building. The kitten was rescued but due to its size, it is easy for a small cat like this, to be overcome with smoke inhalation and die.

Too much smoke in the lungs can cause you or your pet to stop breathing and when this happens, it is heartbreaking. Firefighters realize the need for quick treatment of oxygen, even for cats, when they’re removed from a burning building. The picture shows the firefighter gently administering some oxygen to the kitten to ensure it does not have too much smoke in its lungs.
