Source: Lovemeow
An ER doctor saved the life of a stray cat who was trapped in a revolving door, barely hanging on.
It was nothing short of a miracle how this kitty survived.
No one expected what was about to happen to this little white stray cat in Istanbul, Turkey, when he suddenly entered the Özel Akgün Tem Hospital through a revolving door, and almost ended his life there .
As a man was leaving the facility at the front door, the cat attempted to walk inside, and got caught between a glass panel and the door jamb.
The stray kitty could barely breathe. When the man noticed the cat, he was in shock and immediately stopped the door, but the cat was already wedged between.
People inside the hospital who noticed what happened were in disbelief. They began to look for ways to rescue the cat before it became too late.
Halil Akyürek, an emergency room doctor sprinted to the rescue. It's his job to deal with adverse and often traumatic situations. Now a cat was in peril, and he was determined to do everything within his power to save the kitty.

What a good person (and doctor) to save the cat! I feel sorry for the person who accidentally caused the injury, but how great is it that he immediately stopped to help? I'm not sure that would happen here.

Turkish Vans are very similar, but there is one big difference. They swim. I knew someone who had a Van and to their surprise the kitty jumped into the tub when they were taking a bath. Cat loved water.
