Jack the cat awareness day

I read that story online - and it renewed my personal hope for Jack, which, I confess, has been fading. Miracles do happen - in God's own good time. I'm also praying for a cat lost near the nursing home when my dad lives; I was away at my cabin for almost 3 weeks and was hoping that "Piper" had been found while I was gone; unfortunately, the signs are still up - in fact, they replaced the old ones with new ones. While I was at my cabin, there was a sign up at a popular local restaurant about "Sam," a Siamese who was lost. I pray each night for all the lost but especially for these three.

God bless your friend at the rescue - and you, for passing the info on. I'm in southern PA, so I can't go, but they're trying to get as many volunteers as possible to meet at 4 p.m., figuring Jack would be more active at dusk. I will cry with relief when I read that he's been found!

I worked at a vet clinic years ago and we had a cat escape. We looked for months, and assumed it had somehow gotten outside and got away. Then one day someone made one last trip to the groomer's room after the lights had been shut off for a few hours and swore she saw a black cat dart under the bathtub. I can't remember if we lured him out with some food or set a live trap, but we ended up catching him and returning him to his owner after fattening him back up.

So, there is still hope for Jack yet...

Thanks for another inspirational story.

I once "lost" a cat for a month at my vacation house; of course, she was just refusing to take the trip home. When I returned a month later, there she was! But that's not like being lost in a huge, scary place like JFK. . . . Still, it does give one hope.

Sadly some of these baggage handlers are creeps, and I have seen where they have dropped animals long distances to see what happens!!!
We are sending Our Awesome Angels Search and Rescue Squad to see if they can find Poor Jack.

I'm thinking that there's not a lot of education required to be a baggage handler, and there's probably a high turnover rate. But some of them must be compassionate; they can't all be uncaring, surely.

If anyone's in NY, perhaps you can go to JFK for just a little while; if you have friends/family in the area, please let them know about Jack even if they can't attend.
