Are microchips important?? You betcha!! ProjectARF helped with a BEAUTIFUL reunion thanks to microchips 🥰 After two years of searching and never giving up hope, we were able to help reunite a young lady with autism and her emotional support cat, just in time for her birthday 🎂 🎉 The family suffered a fire in their home two years ago. Shortly after the fire, their cat found her way outside (a second much loved cat did not make it 😞). The family searched far and wide, posting on social media sites, and spending countless hours passing out “missing cat” flyers until the weather grew too cold. They received help from multiple agencies, documenting tips until there was enough evidence of the location of the cat. A neighbor had rehomed their cat 😳. With the assistance of a Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Deputy, we were able to make arrangements for the cat to be scanned for a microchip to prove ownership. The new owners were shocked to find they, too, had been lied to. They had loved and spoiled the cat for the two years that she was missing. Heartbroken, but so understanding, they agreed the cat should be with the young lady who missed her companion kitty tremendously. It was a bittersweet ending for all parties involved. Project ARF is working to find the perfect cat to make a home with those wonderful folks that showed great kindness in giving up the cat they had come to love as their own. The original family wants to extend their sincere gratitude for all the assistance during their investigation, and to the other family for taking such great care of their beloved companion. Thanks to VCSO, Paw Street, Inc, PetSmart, EACC, & volunteers that helped make this precious reunion a reality. The tail wagging . . . our cup truly runneth over 💕
