Unbelievably, cats are still being trapped and reunited with their families. Such is the case of Catie.
Catie had been hiding under the bed when Jerry learned they had to evacuate. He was able to get her out from under the bed and was carrying her through the house when they passed the kitchen window and saw the entire back yard was in flames. That scared Catie and she jumped out of Jerry’s arms and ran into the closed garage. Jerry had no choice but to leave without her as the fire was approaching fast. He never imagined she could have lived through it, but still had a slight glimmer of hope and put in a trap request. He drove up from Fortuna as soon as he got word she was likely found.
