'Toast' Pops Up to Enjoy Some Iams Cat Food!

'Toast' is the epitome of the ideal cat – pleasant, affectionate, patient and quiet,  with an expression of satisfied contentment 24/7. She pops in and out all day, but one afternoon earlier this summer, I got concerned when I hadn’t seen her in a few hours.  I called her name and my son and I walked the neighbourhood looking for her.

In the meantime, we also placed ads in the newspaper and put up posters in the neighborhood. After seven days, Toast returned. She looked relaxed and somewhat mystified by the elated reaction of my son and I! To celebrate her safe return we opened a can of tuna fish and I went out and got a bag of IAMS (her favourite cat food).

This unusual PetLynx HomeSafe story is an excellent example of why all companion animals  should have some form of permanent identification, such as a tattoo or microchip.

"We were elated when we thought we had found our domestic long-haired cat, Lulu, in a backyard just three houses down from ours," wrote Nina S. of Calgary "She appeared nervous, hungry and thirsty, but otherwise healthy.

PetLynx Results in Immediate Action!

I found the PetLynx website after my cat, Tilley, became lost. I have been down this road before with a lost kitty and I know about the sleepless nights spent wondering and the heart sick feeling spending days hoping... comforting children and pretending to be hopeful while imagining good endings.  

Almost immediately after posting Tilley's information on PetLynx, I viewed the 'found' listings and there he was! Thankfully, Tilley is now happily at home ... and my heart is not apart. Thank you so much for this service! PetLynx is outstanding and has taken away what could have been days of searching and sadness.

Thank you!
