A baby in Russia was recently abandoned in a cardboard box and left to die in the freezing winter temperatures. Amazingly and thankfully, this baby’s hero came in the form of a neighborhood cat!
The long-haired tabby cat goes by the name Masha, and kept the baby warm by climbing in to the box with it and meowing loudly until she alerted a passerby. Her mama instincts very well could have saved this baby’s life.
Speaking of the cat, Obninsk City resident Irina Lavrova said to NY Post “She is very placid and friendly, so when I heard her meowing, I thought that perhaps she had injured herself. Normally she would have come and said hello to me. You can imagine my shock when I saw her lying in a box next to a baby.”
The baby was immediately rushed to a local hospital where he was given a throrough check up and found to be healthy.
Masha is now reaping the benefits of her new found fame.
