Columbia Cat Action Team rescues cat missing for a year and reunites it with owner in time for Christmas

 

The following story is from Dee Henry of the Columbia Cat Action Team:

"I have a story to tell!
One of the cats I trapped on Locust Street was taken in today [12/22] to be neutered. He was already fixed, so they scanned for a micro chip. Sure enough, he had one. Called the owner, and the cat had been missing almost a year! Reunited for Christmas! Hallelujah!"
