15-Year-Old Girl Volunteered at a Shelter and Was Reunited with Her Lost Childhood Cat
Just a few days after starting to volunteer at the local animal shelter, Hannah Rountree, 15, was reunited with her childhood friend, a cat named Spunky.
Spunky disappeared from her home in Roseburg, Oregon, three years ago, and she hasn’t seen him since.
The loss of a friend was crushing for her, and the family searched for Spunky everywhere, hoping to find him. As more time went by, the family began to assume the worst.
Hannah started volunteering at the Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center in December. It was just her second day on the job when a cat that remarkably resembled Spunky caught her eye.
And it was undeniably her long-lost cat. He had been found in September on the side of a highway and put up for adoption. He was picked up by one couple but quickly returned because he didn’t want to catch mice.
Hannah brought him back to his old home, and it didn’t take long for him to get comfortable in the familiar surroundings. One thing had changed, though: he is now microchipped, just to be safe.
