Hey everyone! Megan here with a story of HOPE and an AMAZING lost cat recovery story! As many of you may know, I assist Carmen Brothers at PPT with initial consult calls- quickly launching into action plans, tips and tricks and scheduling to bring in K9 Rose for tracking services. Earlier this week, I spoke to a client missing her cat Harry, she was devastated her best buddy was missing! We talked about several things, FLYERS! physical searches, tagging her car with Harry’s info and lots of active community engagement on social media and talking to neighbors. We had a plan in place to reconvene on Sunday and to get Paws on the Ground the first of next week. But Harry had other plans and adventures in mind! The below is shared with owners permission but it serves as a reminder in this cold weather- ask your neighbors to check the inside and out of their vehicles! I am so happy that Harry is home!

Dear Pet Owners!

Here I am, sharing my story! One of sadness, hope and a happy ending!

Harry is home!! Grab some popcorn and a comfortable chair!

What a day it has been for me! Late last night I received a message stating there was an orange cat deceased on south bound 522 road. I grabbed 2 torchlights and my 2 sons headed down to see if it was Harry. We couldn't see anything and it was bitterly cold! I could hardly sleep last night and as soon as my youngest son headed to school I made my way down to see if I could find this cat, praying all the way it wasn't Harry! I saw the cat, he was on the left side of the road by a u-turn before the open flea market. Parked my car, with hazard lights on, walked down and to my dismay it looked like Harry!! I cropped the picture as I didn't want to show you his face as it's not for the faint hearted! I cried out with so much pain as I literally felt my heart breaking.

Long story short, animal control was not helpful at all, I sat on that road for 3 hrs and no one came to help me, 2 police cars just drove right pass me, never stopped to ask if I needed assistance! I wanted to take the cat to my vet to ensure it wasn't him, Harry is microchipped. Kim Fields, came to my rescue and helped me carry this poor cat to my car, she is just amazing! I headed to the vet and was in tears all the way. The receptionist was extremely comforting and hugged me straight away, she came running out and said this cat had no microchip! I asked her to please double check as I showed her a recent picture of him, she ran back inside to the veterinarian to show him Harry's picture as she could see the similarities. She asked me if he was neutered, I said yes! She said this cat is intact and it is not Harry! I felt so relieved but sad for the poor kitty.

I headed home and sat there crying, feeling overwhelmed with emotions. All of a sudden I heard a knock on my door (bear in mind I have been waiting for a phone call, a knock anything with news of sightings of Harry!) Nothing for 6 days, radio silence! I opened the door and it was a neighbor a few doors down, she said "Hi, are you the lady with the missing cat?" I said "Yes!!" She said "Harry is fine but can I come in to explain?" Was I overjoyed! I just grabbed her and hugged her and screamed with joy! Wait for it... Harry was 68 miles away in Fairfax!! When he got out it started to rain and he must have wanted to find shelter and somehow got into her dad's work truck, he comes to visit her on the weekends! Harry has been in a truck for 6 days! Not only survived 68 miles to Fairfax safely but then proceeded to drive with him to work to Maryland! He said he must have driven over 300 miles!! OMG!! How was Harry discovered you may ask? He went to check his oil in his engine, open his hood and ta da! There was Harry sitting on his battery box!! This is such a miracle and I'm so thankful he is safe and back home in Lake Frederick! I told him on his drive home he is famous now! He lost his bowtie, but has his collar. We ordered a new one for him! 😻

My family and I would like to thank everyone who prayed for Harry's safe return! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! For those who took the time to walk around my neighborhood shaking the treat boxes and looking out for him! I am so grateful for all the residents of Lake Frederick, what a community!

Your support and words of hope, for reminding me to NEVER LOSE HOPE meant everything to me! Miracles do come true with the will of GOD! I have walked morning and late nights looking for this boy! Calling out and probably disturbing the peace in my community, my sincere apologies and I thank you for your kind understanding, support, prayers and love for our little guy Harry! He is well, I'm very surprised of the condition he was in. He was happy to have a shallow bath with warm water and I'm slowly feeding him wet food and he is drinking water. He passed motion 1 and 2! We shall be taking a trip to see his vet tomorrow as he wasn't available today!

Lastly, please take care of your pets just like you would your own family. Accidents happen, if you have lost a pet, as a safety precaution, always check your vehicles. This story is true and one for the books!

Much love and peace, Kirana and Family, and not forgetting our furbabies Flora and Harry! 😻💖

Ps: Please don't lose HOPE! I know what you all are going through! Im here praying for all of you to be reunited with your furbabies soon! ❤️

💨 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗦 for much of the Mid Atlantic region and Mid West!!

🌀 Double check that gates/fences are latched
🌀 Keep dogs leashed
🌀 Check fence perimeters before dogs go out
🌀 Outside pets? Time to bring em in!!

Always better to be proactive rather than having to be reactive!!

🚨 🚨STOP—SCAM ALERT! 🚨🚨 Richmond Animal Care and Control is not alone in this!!

Please be aware that this is happening all over the country. If someone calls you claiming to be animal control or a veterinary facility- hang up, google the business, and call the number back yourself.

RACC has received 3 calls today from citizens saying they received a call from 804-646-5573 (our dispatch line), saying their lost pet has been found hit by a car and we need money immediately to start surgery.

THIS IS A SCAM. RACC will never call you asking for money and we are looking into fraudulent use of our number through City channels.

Please DO NOT engage and we are so sorry for this.
inconvenience!
