Baby is abandoned and left to freeze to death – but now watch what this cat does

How about this for a headline: “hero cat saves baby from freezing to death in Russian street.” Yup, you read that right and yup, there is a cat in Russia, named Masha, who totally just saved a baby’s life. We knew cats had nine lives, but Masha is seriously paying it forward. Also, so much cat-lover pride right now.

Animals have a unqiue instinct and ability to perceive when something is not right.

We’ve seen countless examples of this – but here is one story in particular that especially proves just how amazing our beloved pets can be.

The protagonist of this unprecedented story is homeless cat Masha.

All her life, Masha had lived on the cold streets of Obinisk, a city in Russia.

Fortunately, there are many good-hearted people living in Masha’s neighborhood.

She is given food several residents also let Masha into their homes when it gets too cold in the evenings

One such person is 68-year-old Irna Lavoraa who rents a house in the area. One day, as Irna was throwing out her garbage, she heard a strange noise.

It appeared to be coming from the basement. The more she listened, the more she realized that it was the sound of a cat mewing.

Instantly concerned that Masha might be hurt, Irnaa hurried down the stairs.

But what she discovered down in the chilly, damp cellar space shocked her.
