Meet Rademenes, the rescued cat who lives full-time at a shelter in Poland and spends his hours purring other patients back to health.

Rademenes himself almost died of a respiratory illness when he was two months old. That was last year.

Instead of being adopted after his recovery, Rademenes became a sort of mascot to the veterinarians who work at the shelter.

Photos of Rademenes are now making the rounds of the World Wide Web, showing him exercising his nursing instincts. In the photos, he appears to snuggle up to sick animals — dogs and cats — who are being treated at the shelter.
