Pets go missing too...
Maine Cat Missing for 5 Years Back Home After Owner Spots Feline's Photo on Shelter Website
Kendra Armstrong told TV station WGME that her cat named Moose had been in and out of animal shelters for a number of years until she recently discovered his picture on a local shelter's website.
"It felt like a dream at first, I was so happy," Armstrong said of seeing Moose's photo on Midcoast Humane Society's adoption page.
Armstrong said she immediately reached out to the shelter and was shocked to discover that the cat, who the shelter renamed "Oldest," was still nearby.
