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.
