Fantastic News !

No Telling where Hershey was but the good news he is safe and sound.

I saw a black cat at Brownwood Square today and wanted to take a picture for you but it went under the Dog Trot Porch and never came back out.

I will put up a separate post in case there is another one missing. This cat appear to be healthy.

Anyway Welcome Home Hershey .

So good to hear he is home safe. Happy New Year to you and the family!

I am ssssoooooo happy. The first thing I did every time I turned on the computer was check on your baby. I love happy endings��

Wonderful news!
 

Every morning, the first thing I did was to check to see if Hershey had been found. My heart ached for you wondering where your beloved kitty was. What wonderful news that he was found and now is back with you. I know he'll get lots of cuddles and hugs tonight. What a wonderful belated Christmas gift.

Gracie,
So happy for your family. Prayers DO work!

Miracles do exist GG. Happy New Year.

I knew he'd come home!!!! :pepper2::clap2:

GREAT news! I am so happy for your family, especially Helene. :)

Fantistic Gracie! That's the best news I've heard in awhile.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!....I was worried daily for you but knew he was not far!!......" A HOME WITHOUT A PET IS LIKE A GARDEN WITHOUT FLOWERS"...and statistics show pet owners have lower blood pressure (when their pets do not go missing, that is!!)....

Gracie, I have been following this from Mexico. We have a big, beautiful guy also, Rafa, and we love him to death. So so happy for all that Hershey has realized where he belongs!
Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope Hershey is smothering Helene with kisses!!!

We are so happy tonight. Thank you all so very much for your kindness.

Awesome news!!

This is such wonderful news that even our Brandy can't stop smiling!

Prays are answered :)

Ohh so happy Thank God! Happy New Year!!!

One of our neighbors four houses down from us, came down yesterday while Henry was working in the front yard and said she thought she saw a cat, a big black cat in her bushes behind her home. Henry, not wanting to disappoint, went down there alone and looked and looked but didn't spot him. Other neighbors came to help and Helene saw them and joined them. Our friend Donna saw him under a bush and grabbed him. Helene screamed with happiness, Henry said.

I heard a shout and Helene yelling, Mom, Mom we found him, Hershey's home. Henry was carrying him and I immediately thought he'd be hungry or thirsty, but he wasn't. AND he didn't look harmed, and didn't feel like he'd lost weight. But he kept looking at us and meowing and meowing and meowing. I swear it seemed like he was trying to tell us something. All of us had something in our eyes...even the big old dad.

It was like a huge weight lifted off all of us. We couldn't stop hugging each other and kissing that silly cat. Eleven years is a long time to share space with a furry friend and seven days worrying and wondering what happened to him seemed much longer than a week.....We are so glad he is home... and we are all just so happy.

Again, all of us thank you for keeping our hopes up. You are a great bunch of fine people and caring friends.

That is a great story. I'm so happy for you all. And now, looking ahead, you will be able to use that story to comfort the next person whose feline escape artist takes off. And that's great too!

So happy for you, Helene and Henry. It is like the ending of the movie ... It's A Wonderful Life. Happy New Years to all!!!!

I had a friend who lost her kitty for a very long FOURTEEN MONTHS! One night long after she'd given up hope she was emptying her trash and heard this faint meowing coming from her back yard. She tracked it down to a very thin, frail, but happy to be home Velvet. I am so glad Hershey decided a week was long enough. I'm sure those meows meant, "I'm home! I'm home! Boy, I missed you guys!"

Now looking back. I think a trap would have brought the boy home fast.
I trapped a few coons and possums and they were easy to get.
I might just go buy a loaner trap for the next episode of lost cat..
