We received a call about this beautiful girl who was hanging around a house but the owner didn’t know who the cat belonged to. She said her inside cat would sit by the window and this unknown cat was pawing at the window trying to get in. She was friendly, and a little frisky. The homeowner was feeding her but asked us if we could identify this sweet girl and ultimately have her removed from the property since she didn’t want another cat hanging around her house, but also wanted to do what she could to help.
So we grabbed the microchip scanner and headed out. This sweet girl was there hanging around the driveway and came right up to us and loved the attention. We scanned her and fortunately she was microchipped!
As we drove home, we called the microchip provider and were able to get the contact information of the owner.
Now this is the great part, the owner said they had moved from that neighborhood 2 years ago!!! The cat had gotten out during the move and never came back home. they had posted fliers and walked the neighborhood before and after they moved but never were able to find her. When we called to share the news, they were in complete shock and so thrilled to get their girl back. The connected with person who contacted us and picked her up that night!
One neat thing about this story we found out was that the person that reported the cat to us said the cat would follow her to the nearby elementary school when she walked the kids to school. When the actual owner of the cat was told that, they confirmed that they too used to walk to that same school and the cat would leave home with them and walk behind them to drop the kids off at school.
