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.
