Chester’s Story
Chester was caught in a humane trap and taken to Midwest City, Oklahoma Animal Welfare on November 25th. This has been confirmed by a volunteer for the shelter with photos of him at the shelter. He was adopted out on December 3rd.
My daughter went to the shelter on December 2nd and was told they did not have any long haired orange tabby cats at that time. She was also told to keep coming back in and checking with them. She went back on December 4th with a poster that had Chester's picture on it. She was told at that time that they didn't recognize him, he hadn't been there. She returned on December 10th, and the woman she spoke with told her she could go back and check to see if he was among the cats at their facility, an option she wasn't given the first two times she went in. However, as soon as she was told she could go check, the woman next to her said that the cat had already been adopted. The date of his adoption was December 3rd, according to the information my daughter was given by the shelter employees on December 10th.
If my daughter was in the shelter on December 2nd and December 4th, and Chester was adopted on December 3rd, why was she told there were no cats matching his description that had been there? If they had let her go back to the kennels to look for him on December 2nd, as was offered on December 10th, Chester would be home right now.
Please understand, my daughter does not want to harass anyone. She only wants to get the information out there. What we hope is that the family who adopted him will hear the story and take my daughter up on her offer of paying for them to adopt a new kitty in exchange for getting Chester back home. He is a well-cared for cat. He has never been in any shelter before this. She has vet records for him. She keeps him groomed. She has tried her best to keep collars and identification on him, but he wrangles out of them. She told me when she was here for Thanksgiving that as soon as he came home she was getting him chipped. Chester was not neglected. This is simply a very unfortunate set of circumstances. I'm sure Chester is missing his family as much as his family is missing him.
