Three years ago, while the Rountree family was away on vacation, their family cat Spunky ran away. For months, the family searched for Spunky. But there was no sign of the cat anywhere. Hannah Rountree was around twelve at that time, but now she is fifteen. Hannah said, “He was my first cat and the first thing that I bonded with as a child, so it was really hard. I cried a lot.”

With Spunky still missing after months, she accepted the fact. “I think he may pass away, or someone took him far away.” Losing a beloved cat was a hard truth for Hannah to learn, one cat lovers sadly know too well, but Hannah and Spunky’s tale was far from over.

Not long ago, Hannah decided to join the Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center in Roseburg, Oregon. On her second visit to help with the shelter animals, Hannah glimpsed a familiar face among the cats. She knew one from the days of her childhood. “Is that my cat? It looks so much like Spunky,” she said. Indeed,the cat was the missing Spunky!

Spunky landed at Saving Grace in September, where he was renamed Bear. Saving Grace Director, Wendy Kang said, “He was found off the side of the highway in Winchester and brought in.” The cat became a quick favorite among staff and volunteers.

But Spunky and Hannah nearly missed each other. Only a couple of weeks prior to Hannah at the shelter, Spunky went to his new home. But the place wasn’t a fit one. Spunky was returned to the shelter because he wouldn’t catch mice. It turned out to be the best thing as Spunky and Hannah were destined to reunite. With a microchip now in place, Spunky is home with the Rountree family and happy to be there.
