"SAMMY" -- ONE YEAR LATER

A DIFFERENT KIND OF STORY
 

In the fall of 1998, a mouse ran across our kitchen floor, ... we decided that we needed a cat! We drove to the SPCA. My son's girlfriend said "look, he's so cute!" We took SAMMY, a little orange and white tabby,  home.

That Christmas, my visiting daughter fell in love with Sammy. I wrapped his papers and put them under the Christmas tree. They left, driving 1000 miles North. When my daughter's first child was expected, she brought Sammy back to "Mom" in S.E. Edmonton.

Lost Cat Returned to Family after 2-1/2 Months

Another heart-warming HomeSafe story!

Saturday evening of the Labour Day long weekend I saw an orange cat hanging around in the dark in a big parking lot at a mall. I happened to have a can of cat food with a flip lid in the car, so I laid an open can down for him. He scurried right over and gobbled it up.

The cat was so hungry I knew that he must be lost... so I took him home, kept him safe in my garage, then posted his information on PetLynx and Kijiji. I knew I couldn't keep him as I already have three cats of my own.

If I couldn't find the owner, I had planned to take him to a neighbourhood vet clinic on Tuesday morning. On Monday, I received a welcome phone call and at 7:00 that night a man came over and identified the cat as 'Oliver'. His family was ever so grateful to have him back as he had been missing for two and a half months and they had assumed their much loved cat was dead!

I have since heard back from the family and was relived to hear that Oliver had settled back in nicely. Thank God for PetLynx! I had never used this service before. We have rescued and found homes for a number of cats over the years.... but this time it was so easy because of PetLynx! God bless you for your filling a much needed void the SPCA just can't match! 

Hooray! Deb E.
