15-Year-Old Girl Volunteered at a Shelter and Was Reunited with Her Lost Childhood Cat
Hannah Rountree thought she was just starting a normal volunteer shift at a local animal shelter, but she ended up face to face with a piece of her childhood. The 15-year-old from Roseburg, Oregon, had spent three years wondering what happened to her cat, Spunky, after he disappeared from home.
Her family searched for him and eventually feared they would never see him again. Then, just two days into volunteering at Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center in December, Hannah spotted a cat that looked far too familiar to ignore.
That was the moment everything changed.
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.

Sometimes a volunteer shift turns into something a lot more personal.
