Its been six months since Russia invaded Ukraine.
Since that time, millions have fled the country andtaken their furry friends with them.
When the war started, dancerJennifer Shyshkinaknew she needed to leave with her beloved kitten Simba.
Shyshkina rescued the cat in fall 2021.
Since then, Simba has been a comfort during the worst moments of her life.
From the very beginning,she writes, Simba was the biggest sweetheart and support in my life.
This boy has helped me to handle mentally the four-year relationship breakup and then the beginning of the war.
Cant be more thankful.
The journey continued on into Bulgaria and ended after spending two days traveling to France.
Once the pair made it to Aix-en-Provence, they began to settle in and remain there today.
Simba went from being an indoor-only cat in Ukraine to an outdoor-loving feline in France.
The trauma of war was made survivable by the curious and cute kitty.
Simba was by my side all this time,Shyshkina says in a video.
I love this cat more than anything.
