BERLIN – When 10-year-old cat Maggie disappeared last fall, her owners blamed a fox.
Imagine their surprise last week when they were informed she was listed for adoption on a Philadelphia rescue’s website. When they called to claim her, they were told she’d been placed in a PetSmart for adoption the day before.
“It was just in the nick of time we found her,” owner Laura Stearns said. “She’s so friendly I know she would have been adopted in no time.”
Maggie was just one of several missing Berlin cats who turned up in the Philadelphia shelter. In recent months, posts about missing felines have popped up with some regularity on a community Facebook page. Stearns said her neighbor’s cat disappeared in October, followed by her cat in November.
“Then we started noticing other cats disappearing in the neighborhood,” said Stearns, who lives on Main Street.
Interesting story. Im guessing the human who called doesnt like animals. To each their own i guess.
