Cat Breaks Out of Shelter After 20 Minutes and Returns to Original Rescuer

[one_voice]

If home is where your heart is, Mr. Fancy definitely belongs with Ann Bosche.

Bosche, an animal rescuer, gave the stray up to an animal shelter but says he escaped 20 minutes after she dropped him off and somehow battled busy streets and rough neighborhoods to find his way back to her.

Mr. Fancy clearly didn't fancy shelter life either, so he took it upon himself to find his way home. Bosche says he broke out of the animal shelter 20 minutes after she left him, although she didn't know it at the time.

A month later, Bosche awoke to her husband having a conversation with someone in the kitchen. "I looked at the clock and wondered who was at my house at 5:30 a.m.," she said. "I got up to see and what I found was nothing short of a miracle. I saw a cat, sitting at my husband's feet, talking to him."

There was no doubt in Bosche's mind that Mr. Fancy was now a purr-manent family member. "This cat spent a month traveling along busy streets, rail road lines, and rough neighborhoods trying to find me," she said. "I think he had a guardian angel looking out for him, directing him back to my house. I love him so much and feel we were meant to be together. He belongs here. Mr. Fancy will never want for a home, food or love again."

6. A scarred, stray one-eyed Tomcat wandered up to my house one night

I took him in, had him neutered, and gave him a home.

A few years later, I moved to a new house several miles away. He disappeared from his new home the next day. I spent weeks looking for him, putting ads in the paper and posting fliers.

A couple of months later, I ran into my old neighbor in a grocery store. She was incensed that I would move and leave my cat behind. I drove to my old house and there he was, emaciated and shivering, lying on the front porch. How he crossed through the city, including two busy highways, to find the old house I will never know.

I brought him home and he was my best buddy for the next ten years.
