Traumatised but safe: Rescued cats battle stress after Lucknow fire tragedy

In a heartbreaking aftermath of the Lucknow fire tragedy, two rescued cats are slowly recovering at a veterinary clinic after surviving the deadly blaze that claimed 15 lives. The fire broke out inside a commercial building in Lucknow on Monday and spread to a pet facility operating within the premises.

Rescue teams worked alongside animal welfare NGOs to save trapped animals, successfully bringing several cats to safety. According to caretakers, the rescued felines appear deeply traumatised and continue showing signs of distress while searching for their owners.

Veterinarians treating the animals confirmed that none suffered burn injuries, but the emotional impact of the incident remains visible. Doctors expect the cats to recover gradually over the coming days with continued care and monitoring.

As Lucknow mourns those lost in the disaster, the rescued animals remain symbols of survival and hope.
