Today we would like to share a very beautiful and heart warming story we were so lucky to be part of!

BELLA formally known as SUSHI was brought into Big Bay to check for a microchip by a couple who found Bella and had been caring for her over time until they were able to get her into their home.

Bella was indeed microchipped and we were able to located the family who came to pick up their cat who had been missing for one year!

The two families met and talked and decided it was best for Bella to stay with the family who found her and was taking care of her.

Both parties were so happy with the outcome as her new family fell in love with her and her original family knowing she was safe and cared for! This was an emotional moment for all parties involved!🤍🥰🥹

Congratulations and welcome home Bella🤍🐈‍⬛
