This past weekend, Powers' home in the 34000 block of Quaker Valley Lane was destroyed by a fire. William and his wife were able to get out safely, but he says he is worried that the cats didn't make it. 

The couple also has a third cat that lived inside the home. 

There is still hope that the three cats are alive. William left a couple of doors open so they could escape. 

If you see the cats, call Farmington Hills police.
