"We feel the pain. We feel the agony that they're feeling," said Scott Dean, a Miami Urban Search and Rescue team leader.
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said a cat was found alive near the rubble and was reunited with its family on Friday.
Another 76 people are potentially unaccounted for, officials said.
Millions have seen the images coming out of Surfside, Florida. But a doctor with New Jersey Task Force One told CBS News that the pictures don't do it justice.
"We've truly exhausted every option available to us in the search and rescue mission," said Mayor Daniella Levine Cava of Miami-Dade County.
Deven Gonzalez was conscious throughout her traumatic rescue and is haunted by nightmares, her coach said.
Officials said 86 people are still unaccounted for. Crews will transition from search and rescue to a recovery operation by the end of the day.
Search crews at the collapse site worked through the night while dealing with the rain bands and gusty wind from Tropical Storm Elsa.
Search and rescue efforts continue in the rubble where part of the 12-story Champlain Towers South condo building once stood.
Rescuers able to get to previously inaccessible areas found very few voids where survivors might be. And the weather was an issue despite Tropical Storm Elsa's likely path.
The demolition of the building on Sunday, more than 10 days after its collapse, was expected to open up new areas for rescuers to search.
At the time of the demolition, the remains of 24 people had been recovered and 121 people were still missing.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Sunday evening that the demolition will happen between 10 p.m. Sunday and 3 a.m. Monday.
"We're doing everything we can to move forward with demolition as soon as we have a final path to do so," Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said on Saturday.
The storm is expected to move near Haiti and the Dominican Republic on Saturday and near Jamaica and eastern Cuba on Sunday, according to forecasters.
Rescue efforts at the site were continuing on Saturday for a tenth day.
"It could have been our building instead of Surfside," a North Miami Beach commissioner said.
The death toll rose to 20 but the number of people unaccounted for dropped to 128, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said.
Crews are trying to figure out how to demolish the standing building while search efforts continue, the mayor said.
He spent just under three hours talking with families of those who lost loved ones in when the building suddenly crumpled last week.
At least 18 people died in the collapse and more than 140 are unaccounted for.
At least 18 people are confirmed dead and more than 140 are unaccounted for, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Wednesday.
"They're two amazing, great people. It's a love story. They couldn't be without each other. Thank you, God, for letting them go together," the couple's son said.
At least 12 people have been confirmed dead as of Tuesday evening.
While it's not clear what caused the building to collapse, there is concerning new information about possible structural damage.
