A cat is credited for saving a family’s home from fire. Mr. Meowy is the hero in this story. He is a foster cat taken in by the Rinauro family of Jones County, Mississippi. “Sal Rinauro, 30, describes himself as someone who isn’t an animal person. Reluctantly, he and his wife, Kayti, decided to take in a foster cat… from animal rescue group Macon Purrs N’ Paws. But their 7-year-old son, Brendon, convinced them,” reported The Telegraph.
Brendon fell in love with the white cat and begged for him to stay. The family then brought him into their foster home, but what they didn’t know was that Mr. Meowy returned their kindness by saving their home.
It was a Sunday, Sal and Brendon left home for a Super Bowl party. Kayti and her 2-year-old son, Jacob also were headed to the grocery store. But as Kayti was about to leave, she “remembered she had forgotten to leave a light on for the cat,” so she went back inside only to find out Mr. Meowy, normally a quiet cat who hardly purrs or meows much, meowing aloud from Brendon’s room. It immediately alerted Kayti and she decided to check on him.
“She smelled smoke and found Mr. Meowy in the room where a small pillow had fallen from Brendon’s bunk bed and landed on an Atlanta Braves night light.” (The Telegraph) The pillow just started to burn. Thanks to Mr. Meowy, a potential house fire was prevented.
“We were not necessarily looking to adopt, but my son and Mr. Meowy connected immediately. We were just going to foster him for a little while. Now, he’s not going anywhere,” said the family.
Mr. Meowy saved the house Sal’s grandmother passed down, and also turned Sal into an animal person. Mr. Meowy and Brendon have been inseparable since day one. He became a little guardian angel for his little human friend. It is like his way of telling Brendon “Thank you for taking me into your home.”

cats have better hearing than dogs. they have great sense of smell as well. if someone is outside the home. they know. if my cats are behaving normally, i feel safe because i know they would have warned me. Trust me, in a home with cats, you won’t find mice, cockroaches, bugs. etc… they are great.
Beautiful story, god bless them because they gave this cat a life and he returned it back with saving their home!!!
Well done, Mr. Meowy! PURRS!
Cats will ALWAYS return your kindness in some way <3 How wonderful
WELL IM HAPPY FOR THE CAT,BUT THE CAT WOULDNT HAVE HAD TO SAVE MY LIFE FOR ME TO LOVE HIM AND SAVE HIS LIFE,ANIMALS ARE WONDERFUL AND HAVE AN ABILITY TO LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY.
Well, my cat loves me… as long as he has the plate full of food!
What a wonderful story. I’m so glad the parents gave in to Brendon and let them foster a cat. Brendon seems to have a sixth sense and knew fostering a cat would be good for the family. I have two rescues and they are the light of our lives.
It’s funny to see a child loving unconditionally where his parents display conditional love. God bless Brendon and Mr.Meowy. I love it when I see love prevail.
