Just wanted to thank you my friends for your prayers and well wishes 💓
I am home and recovering. This is a picture from awhile back of our namesake Buddy and me. I'm sincerely hoping that by mid spring I'll be well enough to be back at it.

Zoey, who went missing in Brookfield 3 months ago, is home safe! Miss Zoey has a long story to tell!!
Her dad had been tirelessly searching for her. About 2 months ago, he found her living in an abandoned barn. He reached out for my help. Her dad informed me that Zoey had already been trapped (borrowed trap fell apart and Zoey escaped) and then she also was gotten by using calming signals (but she was startled by something and jumped out of dad's arms).
On November 1st, Zoey's dad made the long trek from Brookfield to Manchester to borrow a much larger trap from me as Zoey wasn't having it with the regular sized traps. After catching some skunks and Zoey wandering around the trap, but not going in, Zoey finally went in the trap on November 6th, only to escape like Houdini after the door got tangled up in leaves! (first video). Every night her Dad set the trap, but Zoey wouldn't go in. We trap trained her by tying the trap open and putting the food in front and pushing it back each day. She finally went all the way in to eat. The trap is now set to capture and what does Zoey do? She steps right over the trip plate 🙀. Night after night, going in to eat, the trap not tripping. Poor Dad!!
Fast forward to yesterday, Miss Zoey was finally trapped!!! Long journey over! She seems in good shape, thin, but ok and will be seen promptly by her vet. Additional videos and pictures in comments.
Welcome home Zoey!! You sure gave your Dad a hard time! Grounded for life!

Nelly from West Hartford is home safe after 2 weeks. He is an indoor/outdoor cat who got himself in quite the pickle. He found himself locked in a neighbors basement storage area (see video, mom went back today to investigate where he'd been).
His mom was out in the backyard feeding squirrels and calling for Nelly when she heard a cat meowing. She followed the sounds to the neighbors basement storage area. Poor Nelly had been locked in for 2 weeks! Hard to imagine that noone in the house heard him down there.
This could have ended very badly. Nelly has lost some weight, but has been thoroughly checked at the vet last night and will be just fine.
Congratulations momma bear for your tenacity and perseverance. 🤗
