When an animal control officer in Cleveland, Ohio received a call about possible animal neglect she headed out to investigate. Upon arrival at the scene she found a tiny one day old puppy alone in a garage. The poor baby animal was covered in flys and had likely been abandoned since its mother was nowhere to be found.
Knowing its life was in jeopardy, the humane officer rushed the black and white pit bull mix puppy to a nearby animal shelter, the Cleveland Animal Protective League. The shelter workers and volunteers quickly put together an animal care team and immediately cleaned the weak puppy up before giving him a name, Noland.
To survive, Noland was going to need constant around the clock care and a mother’s love and attention would be the best thing for him. In light of that, the team at the shelter decided to try something different and place him with a young cat who had just given birth. The placement was going to be a long shot and it would either work well or not at all.
The cat, Lurlene, had arrived at the shelter as a pregnant stray and had given birth to a litter of four kittens just two days prior to the discovery of Noland. When Noland was placed with Lurlene and her kittens, the mama cat immediately welcomed the new fur baby into her family as one of her own.
She licked and cleaned him up and allowed him to nurse, and never once did she try to reject him or turn him away. All four of her babies also accepted Noland and snuggled up with the new addition as if he were a fellow kitten. He was also bottle fed additional formula and food, since his needs were different than the kittens, and in the end he survived and thrived under the care of Lurlene and volunteers.
It turned out that Noland’s mother had also been located. The humane officer investigating went back later that same day and found her chained up behind a home. Her name was Molly and she had been badly abused by her owner to the point that she was too emaciated and scared to properly take care of her puppy.
So Noland stayed with Lurlene until he was old enough for adoption, but was eventually reunited with his mother for play sessions at the shelter. Molly’s owner was convicted of animal neglect and no animals were returned to them.
This story does have a happy ending. Molly, Noland, Lurlene and all of her kittens were eventually adopted to properly vetted owners and taken from the shelter to their new forever homes.

This Infant Was Left For Dead In A Cold Russian Winter. But When THIS Showed Up He Was Saved!
With all the avenues left for people, who for whatever reasons feel that they can’t take care of their baby, it is just so astounding and heartbreaking to hear about babies being abandoned to literally die. In the middle of Russia, on a bitter cold winter night, a baby boy was just left outside.
He, indeed, would have died had it not been for an unexpected savior who kept the poor little thing warm until humans could come to get him to safety. A stray tabby cat named Masha, had been tended to by a local resident, Irena Lavrova for months. Irena could hear Masha meowing in a most uncharacteristic way, for the calm and friendly tabby. She was so loud, that Irena went to check to see if the cat was hurt.
Irena came upon a sight that was at once heartwarming and heartbreaking!! She found Masha in a box with the abandoned baby. This guardian angel had thankfully kept the baby warm for hours with her body heat; she was literally holding the child! Irina said, “Clearly her motherly instincts had taken over and she wanted to protect the child.”
According to local residents who waited for the baby to be picked up by an ambulance, Masha had become so bonded with the child that she attempted to jump into the ambulance to accompany him. As the ambulance drove off, she sat by the curb looking longingly after the vehicle.
Thanks to Masha’s wonderful instincts, the baby was found to be perfectly healthy, after being examined. Masha has become the neighborhood “mascot”; she is fed and treated like royalty by the entire neighborhood. Enjoy the video below which tells this story of heroism that is truly inspirational. Hopefully the baby will be placed with a family that will give him a good life.

He Was So Broken Over His Poached Rhino That He Did THIS. The Result Is I Now Believe In Miracles
image via – youtube.com
Park rangers in South Africa found three rhinos brutally hacked and left to die by poachers who were after their horns. Luckily, two rhinos were found alive and given the names Themba and Thandi. Themba, a male, managed to survive 24 days before he succumbed to weakness and drowned while getting a drink at the watering hole.
His plight touched rescuers deeply and they wish to let the world know and see what these animals are going through. Thandi, a female, fought hard for her life and slowly recovered. She was the only one to make it through and live.
Three years after the brutal attack Thandi had become pregnant and was due to give birth to a young calf. When photographer and filmmaker Adrian Stein found this out he quickly went to find her in the bush at the Kariega Game Reserve on the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
He had been documenting her journey since the attack and wanted to capture Thandi’s pregnancy. The story of her plight was widely followed and had since become a national inspiration. Rangers accompanying Stein tracked Thandi down and when they first caught sight of her a little calf was standing by her side. She had given birth shortly before their arrival to a healthy baby whom they named Hope.
This touching story will hopefully be a catalyst for change and promote action to bring an end to the brutal attacks inflicted on these endangered animals and others like them. Currently there are less than about 25,000 wild African rhinos in existence and this baby, what she stands for and her survival, are vital to their recovery.
The mother and child have already inspired many people to take action, and if their story is spread, it can only promote more awareness, understanding and conservation efforts.

Hidden Security Camera Caught This Cat Rescuing A Little Child From The Babysitter!
image via – youtube.com
Over the years several pets have been caught on video trying to protect their family’s young children from potential harm. Most often the animals defending these children happen to be dogs. Such behavior is more instinctual and in line with a dog’s nature and their (often) larger sizes serve well to deter any attackers.
However, sometimes it is the family cat who comes to the rescue. Just last year a video went viral of a cat springing into action to help a small boy who was being attacked by a neighbor’s dog that had gotten loose and bit him. In this video, the family cat hears a commotion and runs downstairs to check it out.
In the moments preceding the cat’s arrival on the scene a woman, thought to be either a babysitter, nanny or mom, is bouncing a ball back and forth with a young boy. When the child throws the ball back at her it hits a glass cup on the coffee table causing it to fall and break.
Upstairs, the black and white cat had been lounging around and was likely startled by the sudden sound of glass breaking. The kitty jumps off his comfy seat and heads over to investigate the scene, whereupon he sees the woman starting to pick up the shards and gently push the child away from them.
The startled child’s crying, woman’s stress, and broken glass are all what the cat see’s and senses. At this point the kitty’s protection instinct kicks in and he starts to attack the woman, batting and pushing her away from the boy. The video clearly shows the cat only going after the woman and never the little boy.
While the child was likely not in any danger from the woman, the cat assumed that he was and reacted without hesitation. The protective feline likely heard the child crying and decided to defend him since he was the one defenseless person in the room. The cat seems to have judged the woman a threat and thus tried to keep her away from the boy.
If in the future the child is ever in real danger, it is reassuring to know that this cat will try hard to protect him.

This Baby Was Stolen From His Mother. Now Watch His Response When He’s Rescued!
image via – youtube.com
Orangutans seem to be coming up a lot lately in social media. Probably because they are unbelievably adorable, but also because they are in need of help often due to their impending extinction. Organizations in Borneo and Sumatra are working hard to care for and protect the rapidly dwindling population of orangutans in Indonesia.
These rehab centers are reaching out to all over the world for support in their efforts to keep the apes alive and thriving. The decline in the species is due completely to human activities. Deforestation due to palm oil harvesting has imposed on the health of orangutans by destroying their habitat.
The apes are also hunted for profitable re-sale and the novelty of consumption. Because orangutans are very bonded to their mothers as babies, their capture is typically achieved by the murder of the protective mother, hence removing two individuals from the population at a time.
The baby orangutan in this video, named Rickina, is being nurtured by the IAR Ketapang Orangutan Rescue Center in Borneo. Rickina was confiscated from a man who claimed her mother was so startled by his presence in the rain forest that she ran away from her baby. Lies. He picked up the baby and in doing so, somehow slashed a gaping wound in her head with his machete.
Sounds like an innocent accident, right? Support orangutan conservation by pledging to Orangutan Outreach via their website: http://redapes.org/adopt

Ducks Released From Rusty Cages After Years Inside. Watch Their Reaction To Water For The First Time!
image via – youtube.com
A hoarder had kept a group of ducks caged in pens for years, without sufficient access to food or water. Thankfully they were rescued by the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary who came to the conclusion that these ducks had never even been IN water. Imagine it’s like living on earth as a human and never breathing air.
After being brought back to health, the rescuers had plans for getting these ducks acclimated to what should have been their natural habitat. As you will see in the video below, the saying that “they took to it like a duck to water”… well not exactly! But nonetheless it’s a true pleasure to watch these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat after years of neglect.
Watching this group of rehabilitated ducks experience water for the first time is at once, surprising and delightful. Ducks become “imprinted” to their mother as babies, following her in what looks like a choreographed formation. They continue to follow each other in this group formation, as you will see…except when they encounter this strange thing called a pond.
Watch what happens in this uplifting footage below. It will give you a great feeling all day!
