In Kingston, Ontario, Canada, a Siamese cat was observed roaming the streets in 2018. She didn’t seem to be doing well, so a good person saved her in the hopes of giving her a better life. Carla Reilly Moore and her husband, who run a shelter for farm animals, were contacted by the good Samaritan, and they made the decision to take in the cat, which they later named Sapphire.

“Sapphire seemed to start defending the infant, which we noticed right away. She would jump up and run over to Mary whenever the dog came by,” Carla said.
