MSNBC.com has been following the story of Bill Harris, who credits his cat, Miss Kitty, with saving his life when his condo was flooded during Hurricane Katrina.

He stood on a chair for three days, clutching Miss Kitty, until rescuers came. Unfortunately, the rescuers wouldn't take Miss Kitty along.

But then a Slidell, La., animal control officer and a Noah's Wish volunteer went to the condo and were able to trap a cat they hoped was Miss Kitty.

It was.

Mr. Harris is hospitalized, but the folks who rescued Miss Kitty were able to bring her to the hospital for a reunion. Watch the video here .

In the midst of so much tragedy, it's wonderful to see a moment of pure happiness. Best wishes to Mr. Harris and his beautiful cat!
