Wilson went missing a week ago in Newtown CT. He had a vet visit and in the parking lot the carrier failed and the bottom dropped. Wilson ran off. Not one sighting. His human, nursing an injury after a fall while looking for him could not join the search. I scented Nova and she started tracking with a purpose. She was consistently hitting in a few different spots in a very small area with many nooks/hiding spots he could tuck in and under. I put Novalina in the truck and we started army crawling around with my flashlight and my thermal device. I got a visual. He was tucked in so tight he really thought he couldn’t be seen. Jill Bishop threw me her hoodie so I could safely secure him. I pulled him out, wrapped him up eggroll style and crawled into a ball making sure he couldn’t get away from me. Melissa Carpenter ran to the vets office to make sure we could bring him right in, Jill ran-got her truck and a carrier. Melissa got back and thankfully got the maintenance team to open a garage for us as a safety precaution while Jill was bringing her truck around. Wilson’s dad met us in the vets office filled with emotion, he thought he would never seen Wilson again.
Welcome home buddy!!!!! You did good out there on your own for an indoor cat!
