In the combat zone in Donbass, a cat gave birth to four kittens right during the shelling. And the volunteer sapper Yakov with the call sign "Fox" took the entire feline family out of the special military zone to his home in the Chelyabinsk region.

"Visitors to the Kursk veterinary clinic "Podlesny" are greeted by Boris the cat. Carefully examines the carriers, is not afraid of even the largest dogs. A portrait of the cat hangs on a board with photos of the clinic staff. Boris is an honorary donor and has saved more than one cat's life," the publication says"For each other Kursk Online".
Previously the cat lived on the street, it was fed in the store. The chief physician of the clinic, Andrei Gurko, noticed him: "His tail was broken off, a purulent process began. An urgent operation was needed and we performed it." While Boris was recovering from surgery, the clinic staff became attached to him and decided to keep him.
One day, another patient cat needed an urgent blood transfusion. Usually, the owners themselves find cat donors from friends, but here the time was literally counting by minutes. And then Boris came to the rescue, the newspaper writes. Since then, he has saved several more feline lives.
The clinic keeps strict records of procedures and the honorary donor is asked for help no more than once every six months. In return, he receives not only a generous table with super-premium food, but also regular medical examinations, periodic snacks and the attention of the entire team, writes Kursk Online for Each Other.
Boris's favorite place is the accounting office, where he even has his own chair. And the striped employee of the clinic turned out to be a good hunter. Regularly brings prey: butterflies, bugs. He had never caught ordinary mice, they did not live near the clinic. But once he brought a bat.

The emergency occurred on the night of March 8 in the village of Bolshoe Balandino in the Chelyabinsk region, regional Chelyabinsk television reported.
Due to the soaked wiring, a short circuit occurred, a small house in which the Yuzhakov family lived — parents and four children (girls of 3 and 14 years old and two boys of 5 and 8 years old) caught fire.
The owners were saved by the mongrel Alice, she broke off the chain and barked until she woke up the people.
"The head of the family, Valery Yuzhakov, jumped out in one T—shirt, and then knocked out the windows to get all the members of his family," the TV channel said. "Rescuers arrived in 15 minutes, but during that time the flames destroyed the house, belongings, car and two cats."
The settlement administration provided the family with a dorm room. Now the Yuzhakov family with many children still lives in it, begins to rebuild the house from scratch. The head of the family works as a tractor driver, his wife works as a cleaner in a hospital. All the efforts of the Yuzhakovs are aimed at regaining their shelter.
"Our dog Alice is four years old. She is now guarding the farm — after all, there is a farmstead with cattle left near the burned house," the head of the family told the organizers of the Shaggy Oscar. So the heroic Alice, thanks to whom six lives were saved, continues to carry out her faithful service.

At the beginning of March 2023 in the Kherson region a mongrel dog, "nailed" to the military, rushed under fire to save one of his new friends. This was told to KP-Crimea by Valeria Petrusevich, founder of the Dobro Mira — Volunteers of Crimea charitable Foundation.
The stray dog, who was named Lesya, fell in love with the servicemen and they decided to take her "under their wing." Lesya immediately began to recognize the new owners — she was waiting for the defenders in the trenches and rejoiced at their return, Valeria told the newspaper.
At first, everything was calm: the servicemen, as usual, brought food and necessary things to their colleagues and began unloading the car. No one suspected what would happen in the next few seconds. Except for the dog guarding the fighters' hideout. According to Valeria Petrusevich, Lesya at first joyfully rushed to meet her comrades, however, she abruptly broke into barking:
"The guys tried to besiege her, but nothing worked. At that moment the arrivals began, the dog rushed to the most native of the fighters and a fragment that flew right into his knee tore off half of her tail."
When the shelling ended, the military rushed to the aid of their four—legged defender - they took her to the dugout, treated the wound and "prescribed" enhanced nutrition. Lesya quickly recovered, she maintained her fighting spirit even without a tail.
The mongrel's life tragically ended in June 2023, Valeria Petrusevich told the organizers of our award. The heroic Lesya died in the collapse of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
