When you think of heroes, cats are probably not the first thing that comes up in your mind. Most of them are not known for rushing to save the humans they've chosen. But Masha, she is a special cat, and she has a really special, heartwarming story. 

Having come across a freezing human baby, Masha took it upon herself to save the baby. she curled up around it, kept it warm through the night, and in the morning, she strolled around and screamed until someone followed her and found the baby. She even managed to get herself into the ambulance with the baby afterward. Had it not been for her, the baby would have died. Of course, this amazing cat later on got adopted, and we can only say thank you - to her adopters because she deserves the most amazing forever home, and to her - for doing the impossible and saving the baby's life.  

Sometimes, all it takes to turn the life of a pet around is a few good days in an amazing and loving forever home. They can go from the saddest little furballs to the happiest pets in the world so quickly, it's almost shocking. All pets need is a little love, and they will give us that love back tenfold. 

And for us? Nothing makes us happier than seeing before and after pictures of adopted pets - the joy in their eyes is enough to make us smile the whole day. So, on this fine Saturday, we only thought it was right to bring some smiles onto your faces as well with these most wholesome and positive 'how is started' vs. 'how it's going' pics - adoption edition. 

Welcome to another Friday, animal lovers, and we hope you are ready for the most heartwarming and positive thing that you're going to see all week - one of our favorite segments, showcasing the newly adopted faces of the week.

Every week, to finish the week on the right paw, we look through the depths of the internet and find all of the most adorable pets that have been adopted this week. Seeing these pets finding their forever home makes us so happy, and there's no better way to start the weekend than with a smile. 

Like we do every week, it is important for us to thank every person who adopted a pet. And of course, every one of you who adopted an older pet or a pet with special needs is getting a special thank you from us. Every pet deserves an amazing forever home, and every person adopting deserves a big, big thank you from us. 

Every single cat deserves to have the most loving and amazing forever home. Even the senior cats, even the cats with behavioral problems, the most "difficult" and "unadoptable" animals still deserve to have a forever home worthy of their love. 

We understand why it's hard to adopt a senior - it takes a big emotional toll knowing that they're not going to be with us for a very long time. So, we get why people don't adopt them as often as kittens, but that understanding makes us all the more appreciative when people do adopt senior cats, and especially super-senior cats. 

These tweets are going to make you 'aww' and also make your heart hurt ever so slightly - but in the best way. Your heart will be full of love reading these tweets.

The time has come for your weekly dose of cuteness and positivity. Getting through the week can be hard sometimes, negative things can just catch you off guard out of nowhere, and in those moments, you have to have some wholesomeness and positivity to be able to look at so you can be uplifted on a moment's notice. 

That's why every single week, we go through every corner of Reddit, looking for the most wholesome and adorable animals that we can. This weekly dose of cuteness will put a smile on your face even during the most difficult moments of the week, that's a guarantee. 

May you have a lovely week, everyone!

After finishing a boat trip on Monday afternoon, Salmon River fishing guide, Shane Thomas, had noticed an itty bitty bird wrapped up in fishing line. The little owl that he found is of the smallest owl species found in New York, and, being the kind, animal-loving man that he is, he absolutely could not leave the bird as it was. 

"It was absolutely appalling to see, so we had to take action. There was absolutely no way I could live with leaving it there suffering," said Thomas, of Salmon River Guide Service in Pulaski, reports syracuse.

After a most dramatic rescue of a beautiful swan from a dangerous waterfall, the swan was reunited with her mate, and this amazing, romantic, incredibly heartwarming moment was caught on camera. It's a happy ending like no other, and we are so happy to not only see this rescued swan back in the wild but back in the wild with her mate - who was waiting for it to return at the site of the waterfall. 

As InYourArea reports, "RSPCA officers had teamed up with rangers from the Greenfield Valley Park to help the stranded swan." The swan had fallen down the raging waterfall and was rescued from the bottom of it. Unfortunately, because of a serious eye injury, the swan couldn't be returned to the wild right away and had to go through a period of rehabilitation. 

During the rehabilitation period, the swan's mate was spotted waiting for his at the site of the waterfall where the swan was rescued, so the rescuers were eager to return the swan to his mate. And the reunion was gut-wrenchingly beautiful.

Check out the pictures from the reunion below!

Cats make the world go round. There, we said it and now it's out there in the universe and it can't be taken back! When it comes down to it, cats bring so much love, comfort, joy, laughs, and warmth to our lives. Seriously, can you imagine your life without that furball beside you? Life without them seems dark and unimaginable, so much so that we can't think about for longer than 10 seconds before we begin to tear up. 

Our cats are a huge part of us, our hearts, our laughter, our love. They are truly members of our family and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Once a week, we celebrate all things cats, their stories, their cute pics, their hilarious moments, and everything in-between. Enjoy this delicious cat medley we've prepared for you!
