Trinity is alive … a happy ending
It’s very seldom that I see cats roaming around the neighborhood. When I do see one, I play with it and hoping that it has a home to go to. And I pray that it won’t follow me home.
There were two occasions that I wanted to take the cats home that were homeless. Well, I did take one home. How it happened was due to Megan, my little sister. Megan found a cat around the school yard. She calls her “shadow” and is very concerned about the cat.
The cat is gray and really skinny for my liking. So I told Megan to observe the cat for the whole week. Should the cat be still around when I come and visit the following week, I’ll take action. Megan was all keen about this modus operandi.
The following week, she excitedly told me “shadow” is still around. I kept my word and took the cat home. In the meantime, she has another assignment. I asked her to write notices and post it all around the neighborhood that I have the cat and use her as a contact person. She loved the idea and felt she’s saving the poor cat.
In the meantime, I have another cat at home, Maurice. This is not going to go well. And it didn’t. But before that, I took “shadow” to the vet and make sure it’s not carrying anything that will pass on to Maurice. Cost me an arm and a leg for vet.
Week later, Megan told me that she received a phone call that their cat is missing and it fits the description of “shadow”. Thank goodness, I hope they are the owner. And they were.
The following day, Father and daughter arrived at my door step with a bouquet of flower. Tears of joy. Rosie is her name not “shadow”. My advice to them is never ever let Rosie out again.
The second cat was a Russian Blue. You know how expensive they are and beautiful? Of course, I can’t just merrily take the cat home. Again, we posted tons of posters. The same day, the owner came and wanted to give us $100 reward. No, thank you, just take good care of your cat. I said the same advice. Keep the cat indoors for there will be no next time. I’ll definitely raise your cat and sell it for $1,000.
This story is inspired by a cat named Trinity. Trinity the cat spent six days stuck up a hydro pole in Kamloops, before workers came to help.

We also rescued a cat, and we also named him Shadow, we also made sure he never went outside after the rescue … Unfortunately, he’s in cat heaven now, but while she was with us, she was smothered with love! I love your post today, as always! 🙂
Good for you TK. I was looking for the bigger piece of news video but I was late in working on the post last night.
Oh yeah, I’ve been there! Very good post, nonetheless! 🙂
Merci.
De rien! 🙂
I am scared of cats and dogs……and anything that has four legs!
That’s okay, as long as you are not afraid of two legged living creature 😀

is that a yes?
Ny one cat is always running around, but he always comes home – knows where his food comes from!!
That is good news.
Glad you’ve been there for the cats and the owners were found 🙂
Me too, for the sake of the owners.
Poor Trinity ! You are truly the cat whisperer. I used to love playing with stray cats until one attacked me and grabbed my hand and arm with his whole body puncturing a hole in a vein. I’ll never do that again!
Oh dear, careful with those feral cats.
