The Bezhenar family, father Alexander, mother Maria, and daughters Eleanor, Angelina and Agnessa are adjusting to their new lives after leaving everything behind after the war in Ukraine started.

These people, from flight attendants to strangers just wanting to help worked a miracle in bringing this cat to his "hoomans" - God bless them with His choicest blessings. These people each have a Celestial heart.

[@sann5146]

Thanks millions to the flight attendants and ALL the volunteers who pitched in ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰

[@vitaliyo5537]

Imagine the relief for the cat. He's probably like " where the heck do these different people keep on taking me all the time??" And finally he sees his family.

[@robinplenkers4246]

Everyone involved getting that cat to her human are angels. I was crying to see so many working to get that little girl her cat back.

German here: MOst of the refugees here brought their (if they had one) cat/dog along with them. We have vets-offices in the refugeecamps (at least where I live) and people are allowed to have their pet with them in their housing.

[@zimjun7]

I should THINK so!!! Kudos to Germany! ( "At least where 'you' live ) I could and would NOT go anywhere without him/her. Gotta take your own vehicle. IF you CAN!

[@emilywiebel3238]

Every single person involved in this is truly amazing. This gives me hope for our world and shows that there are still some really great people. Not only did this little girl get her cat back but the family now has another piece of home with them and knowing so many people from so many different places stepped in to help is just incredible.

[@ZERODESTRUCTION]

In the midst of so much devastation, this was a beautiful & much needed act of kindness. The fact that so many good people came together for this little girl & her cat just proves that eventually, love will always triumph.

[@Angela-Phoenix_iifan]

I am so happy and touched that the young girl got her cat back. I am so happy for her and that now her family (pet included) is complete once more.

[@erniesilva4163]

Awesome effort to reunite the cat with the little girl. A job well done!😊

[@nikiTricoteuse]

I'm so glad this little girl got her beloved pet back. Hard enough to have to leave one's home but, animals are family. Obviously it's not the same as war but, we had a series of earthquakes in my city and so many animals fled in panic. Some weren't reunited with their families for months and sadly some were never found but, the comfort we got from our family pets was huge.

[@sandramorey2529]

What a lovely thing all these "angels" did for this little girl and her beloved pet. Our animals are really family members with fur. We love them as we do our human family members and that this little girl got her cat back is an inspiration. May they have many happy years together.

[@illiardbilliard2355]

That is the most Ukrainian cat I've ever seen. Even if the girl loses her accent, you'd take one look at her cat and know she's from Ukraine. Shout-out to all the people who worked to reunite these two. Especially the uncle, who took care of Arsenii and brought him across the Moldova-Ukraine border on a motorcycle (must've been a fun ride).
