A firefighter surveying debris in Paradise discovered an unlikely companion near the wreckage: an exceptionally friendly, very fluffy cat.

Ryan Coleman with the Fairview Valley Fire Inc. encountered the gray cat and not long after, she appeared to not want to leave his side. Coleman snapped a few photos and took a video of the feline perched on his shoulders while he walked around.

A video of the affectionate cat sitting on Coleman's shoulders has gone viral on Facebook and has been viewed almost 1.6 million times. The whole post — which includes a few photos of the animal – has been shared more than 32,000 times.

SFGATE has reached out to the Fairview Valley Fire Inc. for more information about the rescue.
