I post

It was really this website that got me to post. It just made me feel good.

Well, Charley spent a very exciting weekend at Chez Todd. I don't have any cat food, so I just started cracking open tuna cans for him. He immediately fell in love with me (no surprise). He was pretty thin and was very hungry, so I assumed he was a lost cat. My neighbor told me he had seen Charley running around outside a year ago when he moved in. I felt real bad, and started trying to find his owners or a new home.

I came close a couple times, but nothing stuck. There was a really nice lady who wanted him, but couldn't because she had other pets and they would have needed to quarantine Charley for a week or so...

Anyway, his owner finally gave me a call after he saw one of the signs I put up.

I planned this whole conversation thinking the owner had mistreated him in some way... I was going to tell him the vet (who he did actually see) told me to call animal control if I ever found the owner (which he didn't say, but I think he would back me up). Anyway, I walked up to the door with the cat and instead of a broken down place with a terrible owner... I found an elderly couple who's cat has been diagnosed with a thyroid condition and periodically runs away when he has to take his medicine.

I happily returned Charley... Toby to his owners.
