At the young age of two months, Rademenes arrived at the shelter in a dire state. He suffered from life-threatening respiratory inflammation. Little did he know he would survive, but that this horrible experience would change his life forever! 

Touch and Go

For a while there, no one, not even the most optimistic of vets at the shelter, thought he would pull through. Not only did he surprise everyone by making a complete recovery, but also by deciding to stay on at the shelter – as a cat nurse! Giving up a comfortable life in a family home to help other sick animals that come to the shelter in need of help.

His traumatic experience and magnificent recovery made Rademenes realize the importance of compassion, and what a helping paw can do for others! With his experience of fighting for life, he became the shelter’s full-time nurse and a hero to many! 

A Helping Paw

Rademenes takes his job as a cat nurse very seriously. Taking care of sick animal patients in the shelter in many ways. Be it by keeping his patients company, offering them much-needed cuddles, or just a quick lick and groom. He knows exactly when they need what! His soft purrs comfort the upset patients and his warm cuddles take away their loneliness during their time of need. Providing them with the best medicine – a loving touch and caring presence!

His specialty lies in comforting cats or dogs who underwent surgery,  probably because he knows exactly how it feels! Rademenes sometimes just sits with these patients while gently grooming them – his ultimate display of love and care.
