As Unal watched her house burning, she realised that her cat and three kittens were still inside.
When firefighters managed to get the flames under control, they entered the property to rescue the trapped felines.
According to reports, firefighters found the mother cat unconscious next to her three meowing kittens.
They brought the cats outside and firefighters immediately started performing CPR on the unconscious cat.
Reports said that they revived the feline after massaging its chest and blowing air into its mouth.
In the footage, firefighters are then seen washing the burned cat with water before one of them gives it the ‘kiss of life’.
The cats were taken to a veterinary clinic where they are still receiving treatment, according to local media.
Meanwhile, the local authorities have confirmed that they are investigating the house blaze after a preliminary probe reportedly showed that an electrical fault started the fire.
