Recently the woman decided to move again, but she couldn’t take the cat because of a restriction at her new place. She reached out to Sami Erickson, who operates a program to trap, neuter and return feral cats.
Erickson took the cat to Tender Hearts for a checkup. That’s when it was found that the cat had a microchip.
“You are not going to believe this,” Erickson told the North Platte woman in a phone call.
Erickson said the woman was stunned and excited by the news.
Meanwhile, the original owners were in North Platte within hours. They “were so excited, and I’m sure he was as well to be reunited with his owners,” Erickson said. “He was such a cool cat, almost like a dog. He would follow this lady (the adopted owner) around and down the street for a walk.”
