A Happy Homecoming


Although PFA rescues dozens of stray cats every year, it is very rare that we are able to reunite a lost cat with a happy owner anxiously waiting to get the cat back. Most of the time they go unclaimed.

However, that is exactly what happened with Pascal (aka Buggers) . Earlier this week he landed in a trap at the backyard colony of one of our dedicated volunteers. He was whisked off to be neutered, and was quickly discovered to be tame, fixed and with a tattoo that was faded but readable.

The clinic was able to reach the owner who was thrilled to hear Buggers was safe and sound after being missing since last fall. Buggers is a 12-year old, lifelong house cat who had never been outdoors. He got out accidentally after being spooked by a contractor doing work on the home, and the owner couldn't find him.

Luckily, Buggers was able to safely make it through the winter by sheltering at the colony. No doubt he is much happier to be back at home with his owner!

Hooray for Buggers' happy ending.
