Jamie McCall was moving from Florida to Michigan when her cat Tucker got out of her hotel room in Cleveland, Tennessee. “Tucker got out of the room. I didn’t even know he was gone until I came back from the Waffle House,” McCall said.
After much loss, McCall says her cat means the world to her. “I just lost my husband a couple years ago and then my son was dead at 21 years old,” McCall said. “Then I lost my friend on a motorcycle(摩托车) and my dad died. Then my brother died of a heart problem. I’ve had all of that going on and this cat was my husband’s favorite cat.”
McCall spent hours searching for the cat but had no luck. She was devastated. She made a post on Facebook. About a week later, a woman named Holly got in touch with her. She found the cat and had been caring for it. Holly says she and McCall chatted with each other for about six weeks and then she asked her grandfather, who is a driver, to bring the cat to Michigan. McCall says it was the best Christmas present she could have gotten.
“I got my family back. This is my family,” a tearful McCall said. “This is amazing. Good people, really good people. I mean, who would take in a cat and return it hundreds of miles away.”
