Terrified Cat Is Rescued From The Street: Days Later, Her Unexpected Move Has The Family In Tears.

A rescue cat named Sapphire tried to save and protect her adoptive parents’ newborn daughter.

In 2018, a Siamese cat was spotted walking the streets of Kingston, Ontario in Canada. As she didn’t look well, a kind soul rescued her in hope of giving her a better life.

The good Samaritan contacted Carla Reilly Moore and her husband, who run a shelter for farm animals, and the couple decided to take in the cat, whom they later named Sapphire.

“While we are not a domestic animal rescue, we focus mostly on farmed animals. But for some reason when we received a call for Sapphire, we took her in, no questions asked. I found myself saying yes before I even knew what I was saying,” Carla said.

Carla and her husband took the little cutie to the vet where they learned that she had eye problems and a broken pelvis. Sapphire would have ta long way to go before she was in top shape.

“It could’ve been a car, or she could’ve been kicked, we just don’t know,” Carla said.

Perhaps because of the way that she was injured, Sapphire had difficulty getting close to people and it was almost impossible to gain her trust. The cat spent her first night in Carla’s home under the bed, and she stayed there for a full 24 hours.

But then everything changed when Sapphire saw Carla’s newborn daughter, Mary. At first, Sapphire admired Mary from a safe distance. But soon, her love for the baby deepened, and Sapphire even tried to protect Mary as if she were her own child.

“We noticed very quickly that Sapphire seemed to start protecting the baby. Whenever the dog came by, she would hop up and run over beside Mary,” Carla said.

Sapphire didn’t hesitate to protect Mary, which really impressed Carla and her husband and made them proud parents of their new furry family member.

Now Mary can walk and pet Sapphire. And Sapphire in turn cuddles and kisses Mary.
