7 Reasons to Love L.A.
On Sunday evening, Jessica Amen and Kyle Kushner lost just about everything when their two-story unit apartment in Brentwood went aflame. Over 100 Los Angeles firefighters fought the aggressive blaze for nearly an hour before extinguishing it, keeping it contained to only their unit. One resident and one firefighter sustained injuries, but nothing life threatening.
However, one cat, named Riggs, died. His pal and only thing the couple has left is the other pet cat, Doakes, who barely survived and went into intensive care.
It didn't take long, but friends yesterday afternoon rallied and made a Facebook page for Doakes requesting donations. "We are so thankful for all of our wonderful, caring friends and are forever indebted to you," Amen wrote on her Facebook. By midnight, Doakes had 59 fans cheering on his survival. If you want, you can too on Facebook.

I am honestly glad that the LAFD site you linked to mentions the cat; that's very thoughtful of them.
Although, this is Brentwood. I question whether the same would be done in a less affluent neighborhood. I'm not familiar with the previous posts on the site, but let's hope so.
Hi everyone! This is Abby Carpenter and I am a dear friend of Jess and Kyle for many yeas. Doakes is doing well and in stable condition! However he NEEDS YOUR HELP! I personally escorted the little guy with severe burns to the vet and after speaking with the lovely people at VCA it looks like he is going to pull through but it's going to be upwards of 6 grand to get him on the mend. If you want to send anything - every little bit counts!!!!!!!! Here's how you can help!
