Norwegian Forest Cat
Here's a cat story you might like. The Norwegian Forest Cat is a breed of cat that is very popular in Europe.
However, during World War II, this particular cat was almost made extinct. It did survived however mostly due to the efforts of the Norwegian Forest Cat Club.
They saved the cats and then used a special breeding program to help bring their population numbers back up to acceptable levels.
Because of that, they were declared a species, and the Norwegian Forest Cat became official in the 1970's.
I find this particularly heartwarming because when you think of extinct animals, rarely do you ever think of small cats like this one.
But it does happen, and thankfully they didn't end up dying out.
