Allison sent the good news this morning. So relieved she found me and requested some custom Lost Cat Finder advice!
Albert is doing well - he lost a little weight, his nails are a bit frayed and broken, and he has a small scratch on one of his paw pads. Other than that, physically he is fine.
He was spooked at first and it took him a while to stop meowing and pacing around the house. He eventually settled down and took a long nap on our bed and spent his waking hours jumping into view on all of my video conference calls during the workday. My colleagues who were aware of his disappearance shared my excitement that he had returned.
I had heard from other neighbors that those dogs snatched another cat in the neighborhood that same week and killed him. Needless to say, I was worried that Albert had suffered the same fate and I was putting off going to the owner of the dogs' property to search because he's known to be a very intimidating man that carries a gun and doesn't have much remorse about his dogs getting loose and causing trouble. BUT my parents swore that the dogs hadn't come back that night after Albert ran up the tree and none of the neighbors I asked said that they had seen / smelled any other dead cats since his disappearance.
The last several days I was thinking about how heartbreaking it would be for us to return to our home in Philadelphia without Albert, knowing that he might be lost in another state and never getting closure. I'm so grateful that he made his way back home and I'm still in disbelief!
Your materials gave me a boost when I had hit a low point during my search. I was feeling helpless and was not getting much support from my husband or family about searching further. Thank you again for your support and guidance, I can't express how appreciative I am.
All my best,
