I had noticed a very pretty, long-haired cat wandering in our neighbourhood for a few weeks and no-one seemed to know whom she belonged to. One day, I reached down to pet the cat and discovered that -- underneath all of that hair -- she was very thin. She acted like she was starving so I gave her some fish and she gobbled it up. I knew then the cat was genuinely lost.
I bought some cat food and continued feeding kitty for a few days. Eventually, I posted a "Found Cat" report on PetLynx and made a poster. Soon after, I received a call from a woman saying it was her teenaged daughter's 12-year-old cat. She had been checking PetLynx regularly and was trilled to find my posting. Their cat had been missing for three weeks!
It was a very emotional experience when they came to get their cat. The girl was so relieved that she had finally found her life-long friend she cried tears of joy! She was so thankful that she sent me flowers.
Thank you PetLynx for providing this service. I felt so sorry for the cat and it was helpful to have somewhere to turn to for assistance in locating her owners.
