Do I have a miracle story for you!

One of the volunteers at the local shelter lives out in the country and gets a lot of dumped, stray, feral cats. This year, she got a very skittish pregnant cat, who had a litter of healthy kittens in the lady's garage. The lady caught the kittens when they were ready to be weaned got them vetted, and found homes for all of them. She kept working with the feral momma cat and finally live trapped her in the middle of Sept. and whisked her off to the vet to be spayed. All went well, except, on the way home, the carrier door wasn't shut right. When the lady and her husband got home, to their horror, the cat was gone, operation and all. The lady had no idea when the cat escaped, but somewhere between the vte's office and their home. The lady and the local network of cat lovers have searched tirelessly for the kitty since. I figured the worst had happened.

The lady just posted. After that extreme event and 3 weeks later, she opened her back door and there was the kitty! Waiting for her food! I am thrilled with this good news story!

4. The lady shared a picture of the cat, staring at her house

just before the food was set out. I couldn't help thinking that the cat was probably saying to herself, "You'll have to try harder to get rid of me!"

I've had cats go missing for months to a year, gave up on them, and they came back. It turned out that the kitty that was gone for a year had moved in with someone else, came back to me for a visit.

5. My 14-year-old feral, Tiger, was gone for seven weeks once

I was sure a coyote or wild animal had gotten him. He showed up skinny and dehydrated like he had been trapped in a storage space somewhere. I don’t know who was happier, me or him. He soon put his weight back on, and he’s been coming back ever since. Lately for breakfast and supper and I guess he spends the night on my porch.

6. aww, thank you. I was wondering how he is doing.
