Found Kitty
A Very Happy Return...
|
This ten-year-old black and white kitty went out one day in May in
downtown North Berwick as was his usual practice. As the day progressed,
his family became concerned that kitty had not returned to sit in the sunny
window for the bulk of the day as he always had. Days went by, turning
into weeks, turning into months with no sign of their missing furry family
member. As hard as it was to think about, kitty was not only MIA but was
now presumed dead.
In the beginning of August a resident of Oak Woods Road called Another
Chance Animal Rescue to ask for a placement for a cat that had been hanging
around his family home all summer. The cat was great with kids, but the
grand kids were heading home and no, he did not want a cat so please take
in the stray. We did...
Kitty was not showing well at the adoption center where he was enclosed
in a large cage for viewing and possibly a new family, so he was allowed
to roam free in the adoption center which is not at all our policy. (People
stand with the doors opened for extended periods of time making it easy
for a loose pet to head South in a minute.)
Well as it worked out a gal who stops by the thrift store often came
in to do some shopping, and just happen to see the loose cat. There was
a second of shouts and excitement before our volunteers realized that the
loose cat was the missing since May kitty. The shopper ran from the center
to collect a photo and her husband, (pictured) and was back before the
door had a chance to close.
We need to share this wonderful outcome with the readers, particularly
those who have lost a pet to the outside world. There is always hope. Some
stories do end well.
The family has updated the kitty's story, saying he has No desire to
venture out of doors, has super glued himself to his people and plans to
stay in from now on.
