Ukrainian Survivor

Ukraine has been fending off the Russian invasion for two years now. In the early days of the attack, Borodianka, a town near Kyiv, sustained major damage. One apartment building that was completely ruined stood unoccupied for two months before journalist Kate Parunoy spotted a cat on the seventh floor! The poor feline had been alone up there for weeks. ZooPatrol enlisted firefighters to reach the poor pussy. A vet determined the cat was a ten-year-old female, who was weak but uninjured. A family claimed to be the cat's owners, but since they left her behind and never reported the lost cat, she was not returned to them.

The cat, now named Shafa, became a media sensation, and was soon matched to a loving home. You can see more of her at Instagram. (via Evolution is True)
