Recently, I put a donation jar at a local shop in town. Face it, everyone is broke from the holidays or dealing with their own crisis and donations aren’t high in the month of Jan. I still have several hundred dollars owed to my vet.
So I got a large pickle jar and decided to jazz it up a bit and decorate it with photos of the kitties here for adoption. One of those kitties is Glory Bee.
Last night I got a call from a man who said “You have our kitty!”
I went “Excuse me?”
He laughed (thank God) and said “I am here at the store looking at your donation jar, and I see our kitty we lost on your jar!”
And indeed, it turns out that Glory belongs to him and his wife. His wife has recently been quite ill and he has been shuttling her from Portland almost four times a week. They are retired and usually home. Their calico vanished during this time and their calico is GLory!!!!
Roger said his wife is in the hospital but she will be getting better now that her kitty has been located! I bring Glory back to her owners tonight!!!!!!!
Doesn’t matter that the CATS Inc., donation jar is empty, this is the reward worth waiting for!!!
What a wonderful donation!
OMG!!! That might be better than a donation (ok, not to your vet, but still). How amazing…. A late Christmas present for all of you!!
Sometimes, things just work out.
Glory & her pawrents will both be happy for that reunion.
It’s a good thing you chose to put Glory on the donation jar. Her mum will feel much better now. And if you want to look at it in terms of a donation – then that’s one less cat for you to feed – and one more in a loving home.
