Russel, a ginger cat, is a true example that cats can be remarkably brave and determined to live. This poor ginger boy was rescued from a home fire, suffering from third-degree burns. His condition was extremely severe, and it’s truly surprising that he survived.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2ptaVL_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2ptaVL_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>Due to the burns and injuries, Russel needed amputations and daily care at the hospital. That was when Russel discovered his true purpose – caring for other animals in need.Russel didn’t let his problems get the best of him, so he started caring for other animals at the pet hospital the moment he became a permanent resident there.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0bgv6l_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0bgv6l_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>He assists the staff at North Carolina’s Animal Emergency Hospital &amp; Urgent Care by visiting and calming other animals in their room.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3mwqO5_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3mwqO5_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>Despite everything he had been through, Russel remained determined to help. Also, despite having issues with movement, he won’t stop unless the hospital staff gently encourages him to take a break. One of the vets said:<blockquote>“He wants to meet all of our patients. All he wants to do is be with them.”</blockquote><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=06aRau_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=06aRau_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>While talking about Russel, a cat with an enormous heart, one of the medical staff said:<blockquote>“I’m not sure if he can detect suffering in other creatures… He does, however, appear to have a strange talent for bonding with patients.”</blockquote><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1ng9Z1_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1ng9Z1_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>I believe that Russel can truly sense the suffering in other animals, just like cats can detect certain illnesses in people. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2N1cdj_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2N1cdj_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>It can be said that Russel works as a therapy cat, which isn’t the first case in the cat world. One of the most popular therapy cats was Oscar, the cat famous for comforting patients before their death. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1OZDAc_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1OZDAc_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>However, Russell’s role is specifically focused on taking care of animals at the pet hospital. He possesses a sixth sense for providing comfort and reassurance when other animals are in need.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3T1qH0_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3T1qH0_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>Unfortunately, Russel may never fully recover from his injuries, especially after undergoing foot surgery. Luckily, he has found a secure place at this North Carolina pet hospital, where he receives the finest care possible, thanks to generous donations. The medical staff speaks highly of Russel:<blockquote>“Most cats are distant and independent, but he enjoys being among other animals.”</blockquote><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1U5AqD_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1U5AqD_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure><blockquote>“It’s not just about him.

But still, I’m happy that he’s now in a safe place with a purpose in mind.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4LfLne_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4LfLne_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>Other animals who come to this pet hospital will have nothing to worry about as long as Russel and this amazing medical staff are there.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1ack64_0wOmeiCv00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1ack64_0wOmeiCv00" width="1600" height="1068" ><figcaption>Credit: Animal Emergency Hospital and Urgent Care</figcaption></figure>Follow Happy Whisker for more amazing and entertaining cat stories!</div></body>
