Cats named Mario and Luigi vanish during CA wildfire - until family finds them in rubble
Briefly

In a remarkable survival story from California's wildfires, a cat named Luigi was found alive among the debris of his home. His owner had earlier evacuated, losing contact with Luigi and his brother Mario but hoped for their safety. Once permitted to return, the family discovered Luigi injured but alive beneath unscathed patio furniture, with burnt paws and singed whiskers. He is currently receiving treatment at Pasadena Humane shelter, where staff express hope amid devastating losses from the fires.
Our heart goes out to everyone who lost their homes or their loved ones in the fire. Although we've witnessed many heartbreaking stories throughout this tragedy, we have also seen so many animals like Luigi who give us hope.
When they did, they discovered Luigi taking shelter underneath patio furniture that had somehow been untouched by the fire. All four of his paws were burnt, his whiskers were singed, and he was covered in debris - but he had survived.
