Baby - 1974 Inductee

ST. BONIFACE, MANITOBA

BABY, a deaf-mute cat, is credited with saving the life of her owner who had suffered a heart attack. Baby woke the man’s wife by repeatedly throwing herself on the lady’s chest. When she awoke, she discovered her husband had collapsed in another room.


The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is a celebration of the extraordinary. As Canada’s longest-running pet recognition program, it honours animals whose acts of courage, loyalty, and compassion have left a lasting mark on the lives of others.

From alerting families to danger to offering comfort during difficult times, each inductee has made a meaningful contribution. Their stories inspire us to appreciate the strength and love that animals bring into our homes and communities.

We invite you to learn more about the Purina Animal Hall of Fame and the incredible animals who have been honoured. If you know a pet whose actions deserve recognition, please consider submitting a nomination.
