Despite Cat’s reputation for being exceptionally quiet, Mindy Criner and her husband were intrigued by him and ultimately decided to adopt him.

Cat was able to adjust to her new residence, despite the difficulties. After a while, the animal became a full member of a family, and when the owners had a kid, Cat became fascinated with her immediately.

The cat loved to wander about the yard and explore, but the mom went looking for him one day and couldn’t find him.

The woman immediately sought aid from a Facebook page for finding lost pets, and the family subsequently made all reasonable efforts to find Cat.

They placed a litter box and food outdoors, hoping that the smell of home could lure him to come home.

They also used traditional methods like putting up posters with his name all over the place, but as the days passed without any luck, they began to lose hope.

Every passing day caused them more anguish, which lasted for a year and then a bit longer.

The mom was genuinely shocked to receive a call alerting her that her cat had been found after waiting for so long.

At first, she believed that it was not true. She had been informed that some people had found the animal, thinking that he was a stray cat.

Despite being hit by a vehicle, the cat survived. Because of his microchip, animal control was able to identify that he had a family.

Mindy spoke with the man and then departed for her house. The cat was eating on the porch when the woman arrived. He threw himself into her arms to show how much he missed her.
