There’s not a great deal of feel good news on the planet nowadays, however periodically, there are twinkles of humankind appearing in our feeds. This week, the award for ‘most heartwarming’ goes to Turkish mountain bicycle rider and firemen Ali Cakas, who saved a black and white cat from the debris of a collapsed building in Turkey after the terrible earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria recently.
A heartfelt story goes viral
Since then, Cakas has actually embraced the cat, and the web has actually jointly fallen in love. The cat, relabelled Enkaz (which equates to ‘rubble’), has actually ended up being a worldwide experience, partly due to his rejection to leave his brand-new owner’s side.
Cakas has actually published images on Instagram with the cat given that the rescue, and the 33-year-old and Enkaz appear to be getting rather comfy with each other. It’s still TBD whether Enkaz will be found in a knapsack riding with Cakas, however provided his existing web fandom, we wouldn’t be shocked. (In addition to being a firemen, Cakas works as a coach for the Turkish National Team for cross-country MTB.)
He even has a devoted Instagram with over 20 thousand fans and loads of fan art:
He’s not the only rescue employee who’s saving (and possibly embracing) animals, however with his mountain bicycle helmet and downhilling safety glasses endured the websites as he works, he’s definitely the most cycling-friendly of the lot.
