Minnesota pit bull wins hearts as cat guardian

A pit bull named Bella is quietly rewriting the rules at a Minnesota cat sanctuary. Instead of chasing or barking, she simply lounges on the heated floor, surrounded by cats who nap and wander nearby like she’s one of their own. Bella’s calm presence helps staff see which cats are comfortable around dogs—an important step for finding them the right homes. It’s amazing to see how trust and gentle energy can bridge the gap between species. Have you ever seen a dog and cat friendship like this? Let’s hear your stories! #Pets #Minnesota #CatSanctuary

A peaceful day at Happy Days Animal Sanctuary in Ontario changed suddenly when a fire broke out inside one of its buildings. More than 30 cats were lost before help could arrive, leaving volunteers and supporters heartbroken. Fire crews worked quickly to control the blaze, and several cats were rescued and taken for emergency care. Officials believe the fire started in a utility area, filling parts of the building with smoke. Volunteers tried to help the animals escape, but many could not be reached in time. One volunteer received minor treatment, and no other people were hurt. The sanctuary has cared for abandoned and rescued cats for years, relying on community support. In the days since, neighbors and animal lovers have stepped forward with donations and messages of comfort, helping the sanctuary begin the long process of healing and rebuilding. #CatSanctuary #Ontario #RescueCats #StrayCatRescue #SavingCats
