Today I ran my last classified ad in the lost and found
section in our local paper. At 6 p.m. I
got a call from a cat rescuer who was seeking lost cats from the tornado in
2011. I got to talking to her a found
that she does the same type of work as I do only on the opposite side of the
city.
The civic minded cat person told me that many of the cat
owners had moved away but still had hope that one day they would be reunited
with their cat. She then went on to say
that many of the displaced cats were picked up in my neighborhood.
I had rescued three cats during the tornado of 2011 and
tried my best to locate the owners; I ended up keeping two and placed the other
in a forever home. Tomorrow I am meeting
with the cat person to look at her flyers of lost cats. If I have any of the cats at my shelter I
will make arrangements to meet with the cat owners as I will need to be
compensated for the care of these cats for the last three and half years.
Many of the tornado cats that got adopted by other families
have left their adopted families and walked many miles to get back to the area
where they once lived. The area has no
homes and their families have moved on.
It is sad as all these cats want is to be with their families once
again.
