A massive fire destroyed eight buildings in Cambridge, Massachusetts, including the home of one cat lover, who got an uplifting surprise after the blaze was knocked down Saturday.

Despite the tragic loss of her home, firefighters were able to save her two cats. The woman was overjoyed to see her pets again amid the chaos, and her friend, Justin Khoo, captured the reunion in a touching video.

"My friend's house was involved in a massive fire. She didn't think her cats survived. Here she is finding them alive!" he wrote on Reddit.

"Really puts things into perspective," he continued in a comment. "She didn't even care about her house being gone, she just was happy her kitties were ok."

6. Our kitties were out the night of our fire.

If they'd been in the house, I'm afraid they wouldn't have survived either because there wouldn't have been
time to search for them.

Later that day (fire was 4:30 am) I came back calling for them. Simba showed up first that night and
the next day Mouse showed up.

I get it. We were so happy the kitties survived. Tanya--our dog--came out with us that morning.

7. Aw

That was a 10 on the kleen-ex scale, for sure.

8. Got a teardrop in my eye

I saw the cops bringing the kitties to the poor, distraught woman and I shed a tear. If you cannot shed one tear, you're just not human.
