On our journey to CHOP in August, 2 hours into our trip @ our first stop at a rest area in Columbus Georgia our cat Miette escaped. We searched for hours and left with me and my oldest in tears. The 3 year old didn't get what all the angst was about and stated "She's just a cat." Ever practical.
Over the coming weeks Rita, the Welcome Center manager, kept up the search and thought she might have found Miette once - texted us a picture and it was so simialr we almost sent someone to go get her. but she was missing the white nose stripe Miette has.
Cut to 10 weeks later - we have been home for a week and the girls are walking around sadly saying "I miss Mimi" when they see her favorite sleeping spots empty. We even talked about MAYBE getting another cat at Christmas when BAM! Text from Rita "I think I found your cat!!!" and 3 photos of...........................
MIMI!!!! Aaron and the girls left right away and drove the 4 hour round-trip to bring her home that day. She's skinny and a little beat up - who knows what she was living off all that time- but we are thrilled to have her back. Rita said they saw her wandering around for a few weeks and were able to lure her with food. What an amazing thing! What amazing people to keep looking all this time.We feel so blessed - again. Thank you Rita, Pam and all the employees of the Georgia Welcome Center in Columbus. We can never express how deeply thankful we are for this incredible kindness you have done for our family. She may be "just a cat" but we think she's a miracle too.
Aww...This is such Great News!! Pets become part of the family and when they are gone it leaves such a void! SO HAPPY to read about this happy ending and all the Miracles your family has been blessed with!
