That’s one lucky kitty, to have a guardian angel in Shane Collectte. Bless ya’ll.
grats to this fine firefighter for saving a beloved family pet.
thankyou Shane for valuing this little guy. Your actions are deeply appreciated by many!
This is wonderful, thank you!

REAL men love animals!!!
Great Story. I wish all firefighters could have the animal oxygen equipment.
Cat should get checked out at vet, like with humans, smoke inhalation can have long term effects. I’m a vet tech, and have treated a # of pets rescued from fires over the years. Well Done, Mr. Collectte!
Thank you Shane! You are an angel and a wonderful man!
I’m inspired now, we have lots of bush fires here in Australia and I am going to check and see if our local fire brigade have pet oxygen masks. If not, time for some fundraising. Great work Shane.
It made me cry that someone would try so hard to revive a little kitty. Think of how much this must have meant to his owners. Great job.
That is such a heartwarming story! Thank you so much Shane. Those pet oxygen masks are so cool! I didn’t know they had those..
Great story!
What a great guy helping that poor kitty.
May God bless you Shane! You’re a real hero and inspiration to all!
Shane you are my hero!! So are the firefighters and people at the vet’s office. Well done everybody!!
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank God that the kitty made it! God bless you Shane; you are a true hero! Prayers for the family that went through this traumatizing event!
Thank goodness for those kind-hearted people! – the veterinary staff for donating the masks, and Shane the paramedic for having the benevolence and perseverance to save that kitty.
Helps renew my faith in humans. <3
What a sweet guy!!! So wonderful to save the cat, too. <3
I sent this to the local civic activist most involved in emergency services, so he would know about the equipment used to save this kitty.
thank you your a fantastic man x
I’ve seen many a video of oxygen masks being used on rescued pets, with success I’ll add; but knowing there are actually oxygen masks designed specifically for animals – well that is something! I’m very grateful to Shane and his obvious love of animals for saving this furry family member. If I’m even in such a situation, I hope our furbabies are saved.
Firefighters are such heroes, because they save so many animals too, it’s like they won’t let anyone suffer such horrible death, including our furry friends! Amazing! <3
What a true hero…thank you for saving this kitty!
Thank you Shane so much for saving this kitty’s life. Also thank you to the vet office that donated the masks! You are beautiful people!
God bless this man for helping the kitty, a true angel.
