Nancy was one of the evacuees, and lost track of her white and black cat named Muscat (you can imagine he probably got spooked!).

But on March 23rd of this year, something amazing happened. As Nancy was driving by her house, she saw a white cat that looked just like Muscat–because it was! When Nancy got out of the car, the kitty couldn’t wait to reunite with his mama, and ran right up to her.
