When Kathy Jensen checked Facebook on Thanksgiving Monday and saw post for a missing cat on in Lake Country, she was sure it was the same grey tabby that had been frequenting her yard.

So, like she has done many times before, Jensen stepped away from what she was doing 害羞草研究所揷ooking Thanksgiving dinner 害羞草研究所� and headed outside to help an animal in need. She was determined to find out if the cat in her yard was the missing kitty that she had seen on social media.

To her surprise, the Facebook poster said that the little grey kitty wasn害羞草研究所檛 their cat. On a mission to find this cat害羞草研究所檚 home, Jensen turned to the Okanagan Humane Society (OHS) for help.

害羞草研究所淭he cat had scratches on its face and I didn害羞草研究所檛 want it outside, because I didn害羞草研究所檛 want cougars to get it,害羞草研究所� she said.

It turns out this cat was missing, but it wasn害羞草研究所檛 the recently lost feline, it was Chloe a grey tabby who had been lost for about a year and a half.

Thanksgiving was anything but a holiday for OHS president Romany Runnells who was working with several animals in the charity害羞草研究所檚 care over the long weekend. Runnells answered the phone and explained that if Jensen could get the cat to Spall and Harvey Veterinary Hospital in the next 30 minutes the cat could be helped.

Despite being in the middle of cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, Jensen made her way to Kelowna.

Following treatment, the vet checked the cat害羞草研究所檚 tattoo and microchip which was traced back to Newton Vet Clinic in Surrey.

The information was current and that tattoo connected the vet, along with OHS, to a family living in Lake Country.

害羞草研究所淚f we hadn害羞草研究所檛 answered that call this kitty would have likely been released and no reunion would have occurred,害羞草研究所� said Runnells.

Chloe, who is nine years old, had slipped away from her home on Robinson Road in Lake Country just over a year and a half ago and was only kilometre from her home when Jensen found her.

Chloe was reunited with her family, who she recognized right away. Once safe at home the kitty reportedly ate a full meal and went right back to her usual sleeping spot.

When Jensen heard of the reunion she was astonished the cat had been missing for over a year and yet found so close to her home.

害羞草研究所淲hen I found out, she was reunited with her owners I was shocked, I was in tears,害羞草研究所� said Jensen. 害羞草研究所淎 whole year, gone. I am still crying.害羞草研究所�
