It is nothing short of a miracle that the cat, named Gigia, survived the catastrophe. The dehydrated feline was discovered by firefighters.
The firefighters took bottles of water to give Gigia something to drink.
Video of the incident was posted on Facebook by the country’s fire department — Vigili del Fuoco.
In the video, one woman, in typical Italian spirit, can be heard offering to make food for the sick cat.
