Cathleen, the beloved canine, had to part ways with her family as they moved to a new place where keeping her was not possible. Eventually, she found a new home in Prague, Oklahoma, which was approximately 20 miles away from her previous abode.
Cathleen, a six-year-old dog, had been a part of her family since she was a little puppy. However, Cathleen missed her family dearly and decided to take action. She made the daring move of leaving her new home’s yard and hitting the road last week, determined to make her way back to her original home.
According to Marta Mattingly, the treasurer of the Seminole Humane Society, Cathleen was found wandering in the vicinity of her old home by animal control. From the looks of it, she seemed to be missing her previous family immensely, but unfortunately, they didn’t share the same feelings towards her. It’s still a mystery as to how Cathleen managed to travel 20 miles all by herself, but she made her way back to her new owner, who took her in. However, her desire to reunite with her original family was so strong that she escaped once more, just a few days after being returned.
Mattingly stated that upon initial intake, they had returned the cat to its original home provided by the owners. However, considering safety concerns, they decided to relocate the feline to a more secure residence in a different location after the second occurrence.
After passing her veterinary exam, Cathleen was adopted in no time. Shelter staff quickly fell in love with her charming personality, and adoption applications came flooding in. A news segment about Cathleen even sparked interest from people across the country. Known for her calm demeanor, friendly nature with other dogs, and affectionate behavior towards humans, Cathleen is a beloved addition to any family.
Cathleen was clearly upset after her previous owners passed away, but thankfully, a loving new family has stepped in to take her in. They will be picking her up in just a few days, and she’s sure to be thrilled with her new home in Texas. With four furry siblings to play with and plenty of kids to snuggle up with, Cathleen is in for a treat. And best of all, she’ll have a large, secure yard to explore to her heart’s content. Mattingly, who is overseeing the adoption, is confident that Cathleen will be very happy with her new family.
Mattingly was amazed by the number of individuals willing to travel great distances to adopt Cathleen. Although they received several excellent applications from various locations, Cathleen is a unique dog and only one family was the best fit for her. Ultimately, she found her ideal home.
