(Web Desk) - An elderly Turkish man was relieved after his kitten miraculously survived a huge house fire, reported indy100.
Pictures of the poignant 83-year-old Ali Mese attracted worldwide sympathies and care in which he can be seen leaning on his cane as he hugs his cat.
Dubbed ‘Uncle Ali’, he lives in northwestern Turkey’s Bolu province and set his house on fire accidentally while attempting to light a heating stove with gasoline.
The blaze engulfed his living room and quickly spread to the other areas.
Neighbours called the fire brigade officials who saved the lives of Mese, his wife, his son and just one of his cats. However; all his hens were scorched to death.
The Mudurnu Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundation and local authorities are in a bid to help Mese and his family while bulding a new house for them.
The elderly man was shifted to hospital where he is said to have suffered minor injuries. Members of Red Crescent Society gave him gifts for his cat which include a cat bed and a cat carrier.
