Most Heartwarming Cat Rescue Stories Coming From Heroic People In Ukraine
It's chaos in Ukraine right now, we have all seen it. The news has left all of us around the world a little shaken. Of course, we're worried about the people there most of all, but as animal lovers, we're also worried about all the pets. We can't help our hearts going out to them, hoping that someone will rescue them. And some people are. It seems that in Ukraine, despite all the madness, the cats have not been forgotten.
Over the past two weeks, we have seen countless stories of amazing people - nothing short of heroes - escaping disaster with their cats in their hands. We have seen pictures of soldiers rescuing cats, people carrying cats across the border of Ukraine, sitting with cats in shelters, trying to find a place for their cats to stay in until this ends.
Seeing these kinds of heartwarming rescue stories reminds us that, at the end of the day, humans are good and kind. These stories restore a little hope even during this incredibly difficult time.
