I'm so thrilled to report that Sammi is safe, reunited with Geri, Little Guy
and her family! Below is an edited version of the report on what happened last
night. HURRAY!! Nina > OH MY GOSH - we got Sammi tonight! I am sorry if I
have a bunch of typos here but I am pretty much operating on being up since
3:00 am last night. Sammi's human parents decided to come out tonight to
look for Sammi. Traps had been set this afternoon where it was obviously she
had been hiding out. I was going to go back later and set the rest of the
traps. I was supposed to meet the fur parents in a parking lot near the site.
I pulled in first and was actually on the phone when I looked to my left and
saw Sammi! I told them - "I have to go now - I see Sammi". I called the
parents and said "Where are you?" They had just turned down the street and
flashed their high beams at me. They got out and I told them Sammi had gone up
behind the dumpster where she had eaten the food the
night before. This was about 7:45 this evening by the way. So they walked
over and started calling her. When Sammi heard their voices, she started
meowing. This was the first we had heard anything out of Sammi. Within 10
minutes, dad had Sammi in his arms. They had brought a carrier and I set it on
the ground with the door open and then backed off so I would not spook Sammi.
I thought he had her secure ly scruffed but just as he was about to put her in
the carrier, she flipped around and took off again and went into her hiding
place. It took another hour and much coaxing and some food in a small plate
that they could shake and finally we got her again. This time we put the
carrier in my car and he went in my car and we closed the doors until he had
her secure. So Sammi is going to spend the night with Geri and Little Guy and
tomorrow will be on her way up north with a volunteer to settle in back home.
The parents are so grateful for all of the help that
everyone has offered. I cannot believe we got all 3 cats back! It is truly
amazing! I guess it takes a village to catch a cat! WOW - I am exhausted
but still on such a high from getting this cat. THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU
everyone for support, comments, encouragement - even though you may not have
been here on the front lines. We have made a family very happy. I got to meet
the baby tonight. He is adorable and doing as well as can be expected. They
may not get around to thanking everyone personally but please know that they
are extremely grateful for all of the kind words, efforts and they are truly
amazed that all of these strangers came out to help them. Good night!>
