Long years of wandering behind! The cat returns to its owner
One day, a New York couple, Maggie Welz and her husband John, saw a kitten wandering around their house. The couple took the little tramp home with them. For the striped color, the baby was called the Tiger.
The kitten was microchipped: with the help of an injection into the withers, a microchip was introduced under the skin of the animal with its unique number and information about the owner. But three years later, the Tiger escaped.
“Someone opened the front door and he ran away,” says owner Maggie. The tiger never left the house, he was very homely. Perhaps the noisy street scared him. We never saw the Tiger again. We searched for him, but without success. It was such a grief.»
The couple later moved to another area of the city. While selling the house, Maggie asked the new tenants to keep an eye on the street cats. Suddenly one of them is her Tiger.
However, the cat did not appear in those places. But he began to appear in the yard of Carol O’Connell, who lived only 2 miles from Maggie.
“He has been coming to my house for the last three years,” says Carol. — I tried to pet him, but the cat would not give. Then my son and I began to feed the cat in order to win his trust. Usually he came early in the morning, but it happened that he disappeared for a month.
Carol noticed that each time the cat looked worse. The woman guessed that this was not a simple street cat, that once he had owners.
Coincidentally, Carol works for the Animal Welfare Service. One day she took a scanner from work to check if the cat was microchipped. The device gave a signal, and the phone of the owners of the Tiger was displayed on the screen. Carol immediately dialed their number.
“My jaw just fell out,” John admits when he learns that his cat has been found.
“It is unlikely that the Tiger remembers us after 11 years of separation, but I want to believe in it,” says happy Maggie.
