Scarlett the cat and her kittens. In 1996, this extraordinarily brave cat went back into a burning building several times carrying each of her kittens back out. That's a badass cat.

Sick as fuck too that none of the kittens even look burned, considering the state of the mom

The most heartbreaking part of the story - From Wikipedia- Scarlett herself had been severely burned in the process of pulling her kittens from the fire. Her eyes were blistered shut, her ears and paws burned, and her coat highly singed. The majority of her facial hair had been burnt away. After saving the kittens she was seen to touch each of her kittens with her nose to ensure they were all there, as the blisters on her eyes kept her from being able to see them, and then she collapsed unconscious.
