The long-haired tabby, named Marsha,
found the child dumped in a box on the street outside an apartment block in
Obninsk, Russia.
But as the mercury plunged below
zero, mothering Marsha jumped into the box and kept the child warm for several
hours with her fur.
Residents in the block of flats
discovered the heroic feline protectively curled around the freezing infant and
licking his face.
The baby boy was found in clean
clothes and with a pack of nappies next to him.
"The baby had only been outside
for a few hours and thanks to Masha... he was not damaged by the
experience," a hospital spokesman told Central European News.
