Happy Ending - Lost Cat

Wow doodlebug! That is an amazing story, not only because you did a good deed by helping to reunite him but because the other day we had a stray black cat come into our clinic very sick and desperately thin. He seemed like a sickly rogue, and at the e-clinic we see a LOT of severely ill animals who have been abandoned after being tossed out when their owners cannot or do not want to pay to get them treated. But I searched craigslist and located a missing black cat ad. The people came to ID him but it was not him. However, in their search for their kitty they had gotten in contact with some other people who were also missing their own black cat. Those people came next to ID him and sure enough... it was the very same cat! He was so thin and weak, but you should have seen how his eyes lit up, and how he forced himself to his feet to greet his owners despite how weak he was. He had been missing for over a year.

His name, coincidently, was Jasper. And he has made a full recovery since going home to his family.

It was an amazing thing to witness. And I, like the blubbering fool I am, cried tears of joy to get to see it take place. How I wish that someday my family could be reunited with our Kovie. Stories like this remind me that you can always have hope... cats are amazingly resilient creatures.
