Some reunions don’t have the ending we hope for…

A found cat recently came into our shelter, and amazingly, he was microchipped. When we contacted his family, we learned that they had been searching for him for two heartbreaking years. They lived nearly an hour away from Hopatcong, but they never gave up hope of finding him.

He had been stolen from his family two years ago and, sadly, during that time he was neglected by the person who had him. He was left outside and was eventually found blind, deaf, and visibly very sick.

But because of a tiny microchip, we were able to give this family the news they had been waiting two years to hear: he was found.

They were finally reunited… but tragically, just one week later, he passed away.

This isn’t the ending any of us wanted for this sweet boy. But there is some comfort in knowing that his final days were spent surrounded by the family who had loved him, missed him, and never stopped searching for him.

He didn’t pass away alone. He passed away knowing the love of his family once again.

Sometimes, we can’t change the ending. But we can change what happens in the time we have left.

Shame on you to the person who took him.. Shame on you for not getting this cat medical attention he so desperately needed.

Microchip your pets. Keep your information updated. And never stop looking.
