TORONTO – Meet Rademenes, a black cat that comforts sick and recovering animals at a Polish animal shelter.

Online, the four-legged furball has been widely dubbed “Nurse Cat,” after photos showing the feline apparently providing comfort and companionship to sick animals went viral.

Rademenes is a permanent resident at a shelter in Bydgoszcz, Poland after his owners brought the pet in suffering from severe respiratory problems, according to Polish media.

According to the TVN Meteo, vets at the shelter feared Rademenes was too sick to make a full recovery, however, the cat fought on and was eventually nursed back to health.

Now, Rademenes is returning the favour by comforting other animals. Photos show the cat cuddling, licking and napping with recovering dogs and cats.
