Мissing Cat Sрence Finds Her Way Нome After an Extended Stay in Florida
Spence, who’s family was visiting Florida, is making a big journey home! Losing your pet is every animal owner’s worst nightmare. But losing your pet in a different state, is even more traumatic for both you and them.
Gregory Parnell and his girlfriend were visiting family in Pinellas County, Florida. So they decided to bring their cat, Spence, along with them. But somehow, Spence managed to escape the camper and was unable to be found. Sadly, even the locations apartment manager was beyond unhelpful, threatening to call the police if they returned to search.
Heartbroken, the couple had to return home without their beloved girl.
On August 10th, a local Florida trapper Kristen Evans saw a post on Facebook that she could not ignore. Parnell’s girlfriend was reaching out, desperate to bring their girl home.
And with the help of several rescue groups, a sweet flight attendant, and the amazing power of social media, Spence has made her way home!
Being in the area, Evans was able to look for Spence, but did not find her that day. But she did not give up! For a week, she returned in hopes that she would spot the cat. After coming up empty handed, she posted on the Tampa Bay TNR (trap/neuter/release) Facebook page, just to see if someone else working in the area had seen her.
Time went on, and more than a month had passed with no sightings of Spence anywhere.
However, this special cat was always in the back of the volunteer’s minds. A member of the Tampa Bay TNR group checks the Pinellas County Animal Services daily intake website and cross-checks the animals with reports of missing pets.
