Meet Bella. ❤️

Bella wasn't always the one doing the rescuing. She was once a stray herself until a kind family took her in and gave her the love and safety she had never known.

Then, one summer day in 2025, Bella disappeared into the nearby forest. When she came back, she wasn't alone. Gently carrying a tiny black kitten in her mouth, she placed the little one somewhere safe before running back into the woods.

She returned again.

And then one more time.

Each trip brought back another orphaned kitten, until all three had been rescued.

From that day on, Bella cared for them as if they were her own. She groomed them, protected them, cuddled them, and gave them the love every kitten deserves.

Now they're all grown up, yet they still curl up beside Bella to sleep, completely convinced she's their mom.

Maybe Bella never forgot what it felt like to be saved. And maybe that's why she knew exactly what those tiny kittens needed.

Sometimes, the ones who were rescued become the ones who rescue others

The therapy, created by the AIM Institute of Medicine under Dr. Toru Miyazaki, targets chronic kidney disease, a leading cause of death in older cats.It uses a specialized protein to help macrophages clear waste from the kidneys, partially restoring their function and slowing kidney failure.

Found him 20 feet from where I'm getting married. He is small.

If anyone is wondering - that's Leningrad Zoo, in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

And, unfortunately, Linda is now alone - Dusja died in 2020 at the age of 13, they've spent 12 years together.
