LOUISVILLE, Ky. (77WABC/AP) — Sometimes you have to look for the good after a tragedy, especially this time of year.
Nine days after a tornado demolished his three-story office building in downtown Mayfield, Kentucky, Sonny Gibson was standing in the rubble and heard a faint meow.
It gave him hope that his office cat Madix was alive. Gibson had tried to find the cat after the tornado hit, but had given up after a few days.
Gibson was standing in the rubble Sunday afternoon when he heard the faint noise. He called over some employees who helped search. Soon after, they found the cat unharmed in a hole beneath the rubble.
Gibson says he took Madix home, where he will live as a house cat.
