  In February 0f 2014, we posted the following ad on our website: "Neutered male cat,6 yrs. old named Jake lost on 2/6/2014 in Westville neighborhood of New Haven near Chapel St & West Rock Ave.A tabby with short gray/brown fur, black stripes, white paws/belly about 10 lbs.Any info,send email ..." A MONTH later, we received the joyful news:

"I  cannot thank you enough for the support your website gave me while my cat was missing. Reading your success stories truly helped get me through this tough time. Seeing that some cats resurfaced after missing for weeks gave me hope.

Our cat Jake returned home after being gone for 4 weeks! He survived several bad snow storms and cold weather. He finally wandered to a neighbor's door just across the street from our house and meowed until they let him in. They brought him in and contacted us because they had seen a flyer that we handed out door-to-door a few weeks ago. He's a few pounds lighter but healthy and so happy to be home!

 Thank you so much for posting on your website, but you can move us to your success stories to inspire others. It is possible for them to survive in terrible conditions and, since they're intelligent, they'll make it home even if they have to find a human to help them get there.

 I cannot stress enough how critical it was to get word out around the neighborhood. Not just hanging flyers, but ringing doorbells and handing flyers to neighbors directly is what brought our cat home. You were right, he was right across the street the whole time.

 Thank you thank you so much!! I am so grateful for websites like yours and people like you!

 Best,

Kim"
