Cats Félix and Guaira recover after surviving weeks under rubble in La Guaira

In Venezuela's La Guaira state, two cats named Félix and Guaira are making remarkable recoveries after surviving weeks trapped beneath earthquake debris. Veterinarians at a contingency center in Caraballeda are overseeing their physical rehabilitation.

Félix, a four-year-old cat, was found on July 31, having endured 37 days in Catia La Mar. He is now showing increased appetite and is being put through walking routines to restore muscle mobility. His progress is described as positive, capturing national attention for his miraculous survival of the seismic events.

Félix is recovering and responding positively to treatment. He captured Venezuela's attention after miraculously surviving the seismic double-header and being rescued.

Guaira, a one-year-old feline, is also advancing, eating autonomously and showing good ocular responses. Specialists plan a special cleaning to remove dirt before integrating Guaira into a new family. The center highlights that adopting out recovered animals frees up vital resources and space for other pets rescued from affected areas.
