A truly heartbreaking story took place earlier this year in the Turkish province of Ordu.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Sabah, an explosion in the home of 83-year-old Ali Meshe set off a fire that left his home in ruins.<\/p>\n

However, in the midst of a real tragedy, Ali’s beloved pet was able to crawl out from under the burning rubble of the house … his cat, named Blonde.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Sabah newspaper, wanting to start a fire in the house, Ali Meshe decided to light the stove with gasoline. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, something went wrong and there was an explosion in the living room, as a result of which the whole house burned down. For an elderly man, this was a real tragedy that could easily cost him his life.<\/p>\n

Ali is lucky. He managed to get out of the burning house, but as a result of this fire, he lost all his property. 13 out of 14 chickens died in the fire, and the house turned into a pile of embers.<\/p>\n

Against all odds
\nThe 83-year-old man managed to escape with minor burns. He was subsequently quickly discharged from the hospital. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, Ali felt real relief when, thinking that he had lost everything, he saw that his cat crawled out to him under the burning debris.<\/p>\n

Firefighters helped save his beloved pet – the only thing he had left – after which he hugged the cat, not hiding his tears. This is truly an incredibly touching photo that has spread all over the Internet with great speed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After this story went viral, American talk show host Ellen DeGeneres shared the following video on her Instagram page. Ali quickly became a worldwide sensation, gaining sympathy on an international scale.<\/p>\n

A wave of compassion soon reached the Turkish authorities, who could not remain indifferent to the fate of Ali Mesh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They agreed to build a new house for the 83-year-old man, and while construction is going on, Ali will live with his daughter.<\/p>\n

In addition, Turkey’s Minister of Family Affairs and Social Policy, Fatma Betul Sayyan Kaya, said in an interview with Daily Sabah that her goal is to launch a campaign to help Ali Meshe, thanks to which his life will return to what it was before the tragedy.<\/p>\n
