A cat named Mucky has been reunited with his Vancouver Island family after being missing since May.
Mucky’s owner, Angela Dawn, couldn’t believe her eyes when a photo of her pet she hadn’t seen for nearly seven months pop up on social media.
Dawn told CTV News she knew it was him right away because of the unique markings on his face. She called the poster—a Duncan, B.C., woman who runs the Facebook page Finding Felines—right away.
Christi Wright, the animal-lover behind Finding Felines, had been housing Mucky after someone found him in the Mount Prevost area—which is about 35 kilometres of highway away from where Dawn lives in Mill Bay.
Dawn and her daughter finally reunited with Mucky—named after the Hul'q'umi'num word for nosy—earlier this week. She said their pet was a little bit skittish, but he eventually warmed up to them and most importantly, was healthy.
“We hugged him, and we were just so excited to see him because it was just hard to believe,” Dawn recalled. “We were just overjoyed that we were able to actually have our cat come home again.”
Dawn admitted she had given up hope to ever see Mucky again. She circulated missing posters around social media and kept checking with the BC SPCA to see if he turned up, but after about a month, she feared a cougar or other big predator prevalent on the Island had gotten to her cat.
