Claire Nelson rescued Rusty the cat from a shelter two years ago.

Now, the 66-year-old Reading resident is thanking the pet for saving her life.

According to Claire, she wasn't feeling well one day last week but Rusty wouldn't let her lie down.

So, Claire, who was a registered nurse for 30 years, headed to a doctor's office. On her way there, she took a turn for the worse. She's now recovering from a heart attack and credits Rusty for being a lifesaving pest that morning.
