This is dear Scarlett. She might not look cute like your average house cat, but I promise you that the phrase "Scaredy cat" does not apply to this heroic little one.

Scarlett was not the normal kitty you have at home as she was abandoned at a garage along with her 5 kittens. Without actual reasons, the garage was engulfed by a huge fire. The New York City Fire Department was called to the scene to put out the fire. Moments later, a firefighter saw Scarlett carrying each and everyone of her kittens outside the garage. Her body was badly burned, her fur on her face had burned off but she continued to carry each and every kitten out to safety. Scarlett was brought to the vet after she fell unconscious.

After getting some medical treatments, Scarlett was put up for adoption. Over 7,000 letters flooded the vet clinic from animal lovers who were willing to adopt Scarlett and her kittens. Scarlett and her kittens were adopted by different people. Scarlett herself was adopted by Karen Wellen. Karen had her reason of adopting animals with special needs after her previous cat died due to a traffic accident.

A few years later, Scarlett was diagnosed heart murmur and multiple diseases as well. Scarlett died in October 2008. This LEGEN-wait for it- DARY cat has caught attention from all over the world with organisations paying a tribute to Scarlett as the bravest cat in the world and as well as for Mother's Day.

I feel that a cat like Scarlett would always be remembered by the public for years to come.
