It may seem like a weird headline, but with the help of a cat that acted as a hero, an abandoned baby was saved from extreme circumstances in Russia. If you’re a cat lover, you know how amazing and protective cats can be to their owners. But now it seems as if this kindness and loyalty translate over to strangers in need as well!

We’ve all heard the myths about cats having nine lives, and it seems like this cat, named Masha, is using all of hers to be a hero! Masha proved to be a protector on a day where her motherly instincts were vital to the survival of an abandoned newborn!

Masha is a stray cat that lives in the city of Obninsk, Russia. She’s survived many cold winters thanks to the help of people in the area that take her inside to tend to her when it gets too cold out. She’s loved by the community, and now this story is bringing her even more fame!

One of the residents who often take in Masha is a woman named Irna Lavoraa, a 68-year old who lives in the area and is involved in this critical rescue. While taking out her garbage one day, Irna heard some unusual sounds coming from a basement. She kept listening to try to distinguish the sound, and finally realized that it was Masha crying out for help. Irna came to the cat’s rescue, never expecting to find the unusual sight she stumbled upon!

She found Masha, but what was next to her was the real concern! An abandoned baby was lying in a cardboard box on the ground of the basement area. Once the authorities were called in for help, they determined that the baby had been abandoned there over 12 hours prior, and was only around 12-weeks old! Even though it was cold, the baby was still warm and comfortable thanks to the company of Masha and her body heat! Without her help, the baby may not have survived.

Thankfully, authorities took the boy to the hospital to be examined and to find his parents, but Masha never gave up and her true survival instincts remained kick in. She chased down the ambulance after it took the baby, and stayed there for a while waiting for it to come back! Thankfully, the baby recovered and will live a normal and happy life all because of Masha.
