Sad Cat Left At Indiana Shelter Nearly Gave Up Hope, Then She Heard Someone Calling Her Name
When a beloved pet disappears, most people prepare themselves for the worst. Days turn into months, and hope slowly fades. But sometimes, the story isn’t over.
A thin gray cat was brought into a vet clinic in Indiana. No one knew where she had come from or how long she had been on her own. All they could see was a fragile body and tired eyes, the look of a cat who had been through too much.
The staff did everything they could to stabilize her and give her comfort. Still, it was clear she needed more support than a clinic could provide.
So they transferred her to IndyHumane, hoping that there, she’d finally get the second chance she deserved.
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 still 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The shelter team noticed just how withdrawn and sad she had become, sharing in an interview: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 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.
