A FAMILY REUNITED!

An amazing story of reuniting a beloved pet with her guardians

Chloe: I would like to thank you and your organization so much for reuniting my Chloe to me after her being gone for a full year. I still am trying to soak all of this in. Its still seems unbelievable that she is home with us. I have just been staring at her for hours. I can't even begin to thank you enough. The foster mom told me that she was a bit wild. She seemed really crazy when I went to see her and as soon as we got home and I let her out it was like she was a different cat. It was amazing. She started eating and drinking and purring like crazy. She came right up by me and let me hold her and pet her.

Thank you so much-
+ Jessica R, Darboy, WI
