Sad Shelter Cat In Indiana Had Almost Given Up, But Then She Saw A Familiar Face
Lost pets can feel like they’re gone for good, but every now and then, something amazing happens.
This is the story of a cat who was close to giving up, only to be reunited with the person who loved her most.
One day, a frail gray cat was left at a veterinary clinic in Indiana. No one knew her story, but it was clear she had been through a lot and was struggling to stay well.
The staff gave her a safe place to rest, but they knew she needed more specialized care. So, they sent her to IndyHumane, hoping the shelter could help her start fresh.
Once she arrived at the shelter, volunteers worked tirelessly to nurse her back to health. She was in rough shape, but with patient care and time, she began to recover.
Her past remained a mystery. She wasn’t microchipped, and there were no clues about where she had come from.
About a month later, after regaining her health, she was adopted into a new home. But sadly, it didn’t turn out as anyone had hoped.
The life she had been dreaming of didn’t become her happily-ever-after.
The kitty was returned to IndyHumane, confused and heartbroken. Being rejected once again had taken a toll on her
The shelter team noticed just how withdrawn and sad she had become, sharing in an interview:
“Foxy was put up for adoption again, and was not doing well adjusting to shelter life again.”
Poor Foxy had stopped trusting anyone, even those trying to care for her, and it was heartbreaking to watch.
Then one day, a woman named Erianna was browsing the shelter’s website. She had lost her cat, November, over a year ago, the same time Foxy had first been found.
There on the screen was a cat that looked just like November. Erianna knew instantly that it had to be her cat.
She rushed to the shelter with old photos for comparison. The moment she arrived, everything made sense. The markings, the timeline, it all matched perfectly, as the shelter explained:
“The timeline lined up exactly with when she originally became lost, and the markings were identical. Our staff felt extremely confident that this was her cat!”
When Erianna called to Foxy, the once-distant cat responded immediately. She ran to her mom as if no time had passed.
IndyHumane shared their joy on Facebook:
“Fate works in amazing ways, and we’re so happy to see this beautiful reunion happen right before our eyes. Welcome home, Foxy (now November)!”
Erianna couldn’t stop smiling as she held November after more than a year apart. The missing piece of her heart had finally returned.
After all the pain of being apart, having November back is everything she could have hoped for.
