On average just two percent of all cats in shelters are reclaimed by their owners. But last week, the Fulton County Animal Services (FCAS) staff was touched when a man, wearing a backpack that contained all his possessions, came in to reclaim his cat. As soon as the cat saw his dad, he jumped on top of the backpack and took his spot near dad's head. When the FCAS staff found out that the man a ride to Birmingham, AL, where he had a place to stay, they spread the word and found him a ride. Staff also took up a collection amongst themselves for his gas money, and the man and cat made it to their new home safely. A happy ending for a who cat defied the statistics and a man who loves his cat, thanks to the great FCAS staff!
